Alex Baena, the great tactical commitment of in this start of the course, will not reappear until after the record of selections that ends in mid -September. The muscle injury that the rojiblancos medical services detected in the interior international last Wednesday has truncated the plans of the Argentine coach. The rojiblanca fans has also run out of its main attraction for this Saturday’s game against Elche (19.30, Movistar LaLiga) in the Metropolitan.
Simeone believes in having found in Baena the ideal partner to play behind Julián Alvarez. He sees it more as a footballer to act inside than as a band player, although he can leave from the right or the left. That plan has been falling down the Baena injury and the tests carried out during the week suggest that this afternoon will align a double tip with Julián Álvarez and Sorloth.
The Norwegian attacker continues to demand a ownership that has not guaranteed the 24 goals of last season. “Sorloth came with the cargo, trained only once or twice, and that is why, he also had played from the game with Newcastle and had discomfort in Cornellà,” Cholo explained this Friday.
Criticisms raised against the rojiblanco coach after the unexpected defeat against Espanyol. The changes that reproaches made on their figure focused. “I can’t explain every change I make. The changes were good, but the team failed to express what these changes tried to generate. The play in the 70th minute with Ruggeri and Raspadori could be 0-2 and it was not,” Simeone defended.
The defeat on the first league day reduced the enthusiasm generated by. A stumble against Elche can trigger the first crisis with only two disputed days.
