Simeone must decide whether to have the Madrilenian at the top of the attack or in the midfield
SIf he plays in the middle, he surrenders, if he plays heeled to the band, he is decisive and and if he plays in front, he defines matches. Marcos Llorente will return to the starting eleven against him Eibar after serving a penalty game last day and Simeone he does not know where to place his ward exactly. You know that it is an easy decision because he decides what he decides, he will be right, but the weaknesses he has in some areas of the field as a result of casualties, cause the Madrid player to be a solution to many problems.
With two goals in the last four games played, the Athletic he needs to regain the scoring effectiveness that led him to distance himself from his rivals in the table during the first round and for this, Llorente it is key to occupy the demarcation that occupies.
As a partner of Koke in the midfield he has added five goals and has given as many assists in 19 games played there. It has influenced the game both at the time of creation and definition and from there, exploits its great qualities. Power, speed and the ability to overcome lines with his driving are aspects of the game that he cannot do without. Athletic.
In addition, occupying the creation area, Marcos Llorente It is also decisive in defensive tasks, an aspect in which the Athletic their performance has dropped significantly.
But before the casualties of Luis Suárez and Joao Félix, it is likely that Simeone move to Marcos Llorente to the leading edge. Closer to the area, the Madrilenian can put his powerful shot from distance at the service of the team. It is true that the colchoneros would lose some aerial potential if the teammate of Correa is Llorente and not a Dembélé that touched the goal before him Getafe on several occasions at the end of the crash.
