The offensive midfielder Thiago Almada became the new star reinforcement of the Atlético de Madrid. After confirmation, the Spanish cast uploaded a publication to formalize its arrival at the campus commanded by the technical director Diego Simeone.
“According to the Botafogo for the transfer of Thiago Almada. Our club and the Brazilian entity has reached an agreement in the absence of confirmation once the player exceeds the relevant medical examination and firm the contract,” He expressed the official account of Atlético de Madrid in his post of social networks.
With its arrival, the institution again had six Argentine players within the squad and stayed with the European club sheet with the largest number of Argentines. In addition, Simeone added to his fourth champion of the World Cup in Qatar 2022: they were already Julián Álvarez, Rodrigo de Paul and Nahuel Molina.
On the other hand, Almada will strengthen the mattress midfield, which already has Pablo Barrios Rivas and Paul, who have a great sports level, but do not find a good connection in the deployment of the attack.
In addition, the 24 -year -old arrives with 21 games with the Olympique de Lyon shirt, 2 goals and 5 assists.
However, despite the hierarchy of the former Vélez, its natural characteristics open some questions about where I could play with Simeone, adept at 4-4-2 well tight and tidy.
In the first place, a change of position could be given and plays on either band. A modification that seems consistent, because it has already done so in the past, but would leave its traditional location of hitch or 10 to play in a fixed way in an alternative position, in which they are soccer players with an important filming inside the tactical board, such as Giuliano Simeone and Conor Gallagher.
On the other hand, one might think that the arrival of Almada will result in a resounding change in the “Cholo” tactical scheme. It would change its 4-4-2 to adapt the world champion to a new system in which it would be part of the fundamental pillars.
But, despite the quality of all the football stars that make up the “mattress” squad, Almada will have the possibility of establishing itself as one of the most important pieces of the team. In addition, it is estimated that its adaptation to the squad would not take long because it is surrounded by Argentine players who shared costumes in the national team.
The arrival of the world champion brings tranquility in the world of Atlético de Madrid, because they will add to a luxury reinforcement that will generate the change that Simeone needs to find proper offensive functioning.
