Marcos Llorente He is in excellent form. From the right-back position, which made him grimace when Simeone suggested it to him, he propelled Atlético to a 3-0 victory over Girona.He scored a goal and gave an assist. A performance that made everyone who had him in LALIGA FANTASY rub their hands together. Some, even from the rojiblanco player’s entourage, as he revealed at the end of the match. “I have a friend who recently signed me and he will be happy”said.
Marcos Llorente admitted that he has ‘fallen’ into the trap of this game that has hooked thousands of fans, obsessed with scratching the Relay Points to win their leagues. “I was unaware of the fanaticism behind this, but I started playing myself and I understand my friend’s message”The question was easy: would he have himself in the team? The answer is no. Marcos Llorente has not won points with his own performance for a simple reason, which he revealed on Dazn: “No, I couldn’t sign up, they stole me.”
What he didn’t say is whether he has signed Griezmann or Koke, the two teammates who scored against Girona. Atlético had a great game, demonstrating the leap in quality that this squad has made with an exciting transfer window. Players like Julián Álvarez, who made his debut, Gallagher or Sorloth have given hope to the fans at the Metropolitano. Marcos is also optimistic: “Very important players have arrived, who will give us a leap in quality. A very good, very strong group is forming, with a special energy. If we row together and none of us leave, it could be a great year.”
However, the story did not deviate from the path marked by the Cholista philosophy: “We have to take it game by game, because there’s another one on Wednesday and we have to focus. What this team is good at is adding three points at a time.”
Finally, he explained to the spectators the meaning and the recipient of his gesture in celebration of the goal he scored against Gazzaniga: “It was for my mother, it’s a joke we have like a candy that opens. I didn’t know how to dedicate it to her and I did it like this.”
