After a great start to the season, Herrera got injured and was absent from Atlético, something that coach Diego Simeone misses.
Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético de Madrid, spoke about the next game in which Joao Félix, Moussa Dembélé, Thomas Lemar and Héctor Herrera will not yet be available for Covid-19. “Without a doubt, Herrera had started the season very well. He had that injury (muscled against Real Madrid on December 12) that prevented him from maintaining continuity. above all, that’s what footballers want, ”he reviewed.
And then the growing up guys like Lemar, Koke, Llorente, Kondogbia have fought really well for that position … And the pressure to play starts to grow. It’s important because we need it. And we need Herrera, of course. Now he was very good on his return from the injury and what happened to him shows and many of us have to live, what the coronavirus is, ”he continued.
Let’s hope he is recovering well, that he will certainly recover well, because he is a guy who works, wants to be good, and wants to influence the important group. Being in the group and the team will be important if he can give enough negatives to join the team, ”he added.
Atlético has lost its reliability in recent appointments. Disguised by Luis Suárez’s slap and the team, winner of eight of his last nine games of the championship, the fact is that once again in effect for the 2-2 against Celta last Monday and the upcoming visit, next Saturday, to “competitive and combative” Granada.
Next Saturday, Granada awaits, while Real Madrid and Barcelona continue their leadership. “The only thing that worries us is solving the Granada game; a team that is doing very well at home, has won six out of eight games and is doing very well. It is a competitive and combative team, with a coach who has very clear ideas and can play with different systems ”, analyzed.
