The match between Atletico and Real Madrid, atletico loses, can see the problems of Atletico now, this season's Atletico is a bit like last year's Real Madrid, but Real Madrid looks like it has a core, who is the core of Atletico? Simeone should want to rebuild the team now, but it seems that rebuilding is difficult, just look at this game!
Defender line this game sleepwalking?
Atletico's current backline problems are too much, there is no core is the feeling of this game, compared to Real Madrid, although the level of defenders is now average, but Militang's performance is getting better and better. Atletico centre-backs who perform well, no, at least Condobia and Felipe are very poor, this is the big problem of Atletico this season, the team centre-backs always have some mistakes, always let the team lose points, the full-backs are also poor, Hermoso is unstable. Llorente's performance is also average, but he is an all-around player, so this team needs to replace the center-back, but the other thing is that it is too difficult for Atletico to find a centre-back like Godin again, Godin is the most interesting center-back, and the single defense and team defense are very strong. So that's the problem with Atletico's defensive line right now.
The midfield problem is more troublesome and now Atletico have an all-around midfield core, maybe not this season
The Real Madrid midfielders have Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, all of whom look balanced in attack and defense, all of whom can be the core, but who is Atletico? I don't know, no. Atletico's biggest problem this season is still the midfield, de Paul although to a certain extent seems to be an all-round midfielder, but not the core, this is the biggest problem, Cork's problem is obvious, he now seems to be defined as the core of the midfield, but his attack and defense is not good, and it seems to play the core of the midfield and the back, Koke is not mistaken, used to be a winger, playing offensive players, this is the problem of Atletico now, the lack of real stable defenders in the midfield, resulting in a lot of defensive problems in the team, If a good midfield core emerges, Atletico will not perform so badly this year. But the midfield core also looks hard to find. However, Atletico have found the core of the midfield for two seasons, but it seems that they have not been successful, and this is also a reflection.
The front line now needs to run in and change the way of thinking?
Now the core of Atletico is Suarez, but Suarez is now older, the decline in physical fitness is obvious, this is the biggest problem for Atletico now, but from another point of view, now Atletico want to do some rotation in front, Griezmann and Cunha this is not good, Felix can really consider the use of methods, in fact, this game off the bench performance is still good. He should still need to get more opportunities to play, Griezmann's position should be considered to change, now Griezmann has no speed, this problem is very troublesome, Cunha is slowly cultivating, should probably become Atletico's new scoring core, he has this ability, but the development of forward players will not be very fast, unless it is a talented player like Haaland, so the front line does not have a core.
Atletico still don't have enough money, not enough attraction, if the attraction is enough, the team really doesn't want to face these problems, very helpless.
