Possible eleven for Atlético against Vic in the Cup
Simeone will face the Cup with fewer regular players and children, but with a starting XI at handjust like last season in my first game in the League, although it was already a different round, the sixteenth. Just in case. In case you need them. In case you choke on your drink. Unió Esportiva Vic is a team that is five categories lower (in the Elite League of Catalonia, one step below the Third Federation), but Cholo’s team is not far enough behind in terms of performance, results or feeling.
The first thing that catches his eye among the eleven he tried at the last training session before this match Musso was a goalkeeper which occupied his target. After the 2021 Cup defeat to Cornella, the Argentine decided that experimenting and giving minutes to a goalkeeper other than Oblak was over. Just in case too. In case the face is painted. But the goalkeeper today will be Musso, who in the second game of the season showed himself to be a reliable and safe goalkeeper.
Secondly, Lemar will finally have minutes. His injury has lingered. The Frenchman broke his Achilles tendon in September 2023 in the fourth round of the championship at Mestalla.But although he returned to work with the group at the end of last season and played a few minutes in pre-season friendlies, a soleus injury once again delayed his return. If he comes back as what he was, this player with the electric conductivity, the glue of the lines, even if he lacks rhythm, he will be welcomed..
Thirdly, two home-grown players. Reward for work. On the one hand, Kostis, that tall central defender (1.88), whom Simeone always trusted. On the other hand, Serranowho once earned trust and has now done it again. He will control the midfield alongside Gallagher. Giuliano, Correa or Riquelme are other names that complement the eleven Cholo names, consisting of Musso; Nahuel, Witsel, Costis, Galan; Giuliano, Gallagher, Serrano, Riquelme; Correa and Lemar.
Atlético travel to Vic this morning. The red and white club provided a list of those called up before the trip.
