And in this scenario Sal guez returns to Atltico after a loan at Chelseawhere he has barely been able to show the repertoire that led him, years ago, to be indisputable with La Roja and one of the red and white stars. It was difficult for him to adapt and he has only played 1,200 minutes in 23 gamesyes
Despite this, and as we have told in MARCA, Sal returns to stay in the entity except for a 180 degree turn.

But the one who would wear Atltico’s number 8 (now Griezmann wears it when Joao Flix wears number 7) settled in the first team playing as a midfielder. In the shaft or inside (taking advantage of his arrival), the medullary was the place on the field where the man from Elche did the most and best, who is also capable of giving as center. There he triumphed in his loan at Rayo and there Simeone put him once in a duel against Eibar at the Caldern.

“Team player who always works for the team and I am a ‘box to box’ which is the best position for me when it comes to being able to score a goal, to defend it or score it. It’s important that I feel comfortable on the pitch to be able to give Chelsea the benefits”, slipped the footballer who is now returning to Atlético as the great wild card that left less than a year ago.
