After pondering the possibility of the Madrid winger leaving again, Cholo is finally letting him fully factor into his plans, albeit in a position that is unusual for him. This has been the first performance sung for this winter market.
Diego Simeone wasn’t entirely sure if he would sign Rodrigo Riquelme, with talk of a new loan deal making it permanent in his plans. During his stays at Girona CF and Mirandés he was from Madrid He played in his usual position, left winger. But the Argentine coach is testing a new position for him before his departure Yannick Carrasco.
Specifically, Riquelme plays in training as a left-back in defense and as a winger in attack. Just like the role the Belgian had. But you can tell the 23-year-old is uncomfortable, despite Simeone insisting he will manage. This has given much thought to the other options in the squad, one of which is being ostracized and could return to Valencia CF.
Simeone chooses Riquelme and Samuel Lino asks to leave Atlético
Carrasco is already history in the mattress club and everyone thought that the natural replacement in the starting line-up would be Samuel Lino. Although the game has not yet come to show who will take over the Belgian’s position, as only a few days have passed since the former Monaco’s departure, it is clear in training that Cholo has chosen the Madrid native.
So far, the Brazilian has played more minutes than Riquelme, but everything points to the latter being in line for the starting position on the left wing.. The situation begins to break the calm of the Rio attacker, who is already asking his agent for a decision to return to the Valencian team.
While Simeone opts for Riquelme, Valencia CF opens the doors for Lino
The South American winger’s performance at the Mestalla was one of the most remarkable, leaving Rubén Baraja desperately pleading for him to stay. Unfortunately for the Valladolid coach, it was Simeone himself who called for the Carioca striker’s return. But the player gladly accepted the offer because his dream is to play in the Champions League.
The truth is that things have become very different for Samuel Lino and he makes it a priority to be a starter in LaLiga in the Valencia CF shirt and to play as a substitute for Atlético in the Champions League. So at the winter market 2024, The Brazilian footballer would return to the Che team. Of course I would do it again as a bank transfer, this time with a purchase option.
