The situation
Atleti have work this July . Compose a squad to really compete again in 22-23 in which there will be 21, 22 players, the number that Cholo always works with. When he returns to work in the second week of July, he will have 20 left over. Because that is the number of those who return, those who return from their assignments. Few will stay. Very few. Those who have shone are still very young (Camello and Riquelme at Mirandés, Manu Sánchez at Osasuna, Camello at Tenerife), which are not too many. Vitolo, Gbric, Arias… Only Saúl and Morata, who will not leave if in the end Juve does not meet the conditions requested by Atleti (he has requested facilities, deferred payment of 30 million or even proposed another transfer), They seem to have a fixed place. A player and a half.Between twenty. Many unsolved cases. There are several states. On the one hand those first names, those of the only ones who can stay. Saúl, by descent and past , because for years he had the iron confidence of Cholo, because from Atleti it is expected that his loan in London will be like Carrasco’s in China: only enriching.
Vitolo, Gbric, Arias…
They, like in that Netflix movie, The Hole , are on the first floors. Next appear the ‘potatoes’, a footballer who could have been but was not. Read those Vitolo, Gbric or Arias. The year has gone well for none of the three, neither at Getafe (not testimonial, just 6% of the minutes played), nor at Lille (58%, from more to less, with a season finale with their gloves singing traviattas ), nor in Granada (14%) respectively. If it was sought to revalue them, nothing further: they return devalued . Neither was Nehuén Pérez much better at Famalicao (barely 24% of the minutes played). At an intermediate point would be Nehuén Pérez (neither cold nor hot at Udinese, 50% of the time played).
