The big problem for Simeone and the Rojiblancos is the midfield structure. With only Rodrigo de Paul the Argentine coach’s main man, with the rest of the team taking turns playing.
Simeone said :
‘I don’t know if he’s the key. But he can translate the same things that we saw with Argentina at the World Cup and bring those performances to Atlético. Before, he did it in isolation and now he has a continuity that we can enjoy. He has character, leadership, vision of the game and we need him. ‘
When asked about the future of Jorge Resurrecion. Koke asked whether he would continue with the Bears and whether Pablo Barrios would be the replacement.
‘We will interpret what is most important for Tee and show that to those who start. But considering that the game is likely to be 96 minutes long. We have to be prepared for anything that might happen. And that will affect those who start and those who come in later.’
‘(Barrios) is a very important player. He is young, with a process that young players have to go through. He can play in the middle on the wing. And He gives us a lot and against Real Madrid he will be very important for sure. ‘
Simeone also spoke about choosing between Conor Gallagher and Samuel Lino on the left wing. Saying: ‘We don’t see anything different from you. When he plays well, he plays well, scores goals, And he’s involved in the offensive. He’s developing, competing with Conor, who has other, more important qualities: He’s better at winning the ball and keeping the team in balance. We’re looking at who’s going to play tomorrow. ‘
