Atletico Madrid is in the heat of the title race while the business end of the season is around the corner, and their trek in the Santiago Bernabeu keeps them entitled to the heels of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. However, a player who feels the cold of the Madrid -Winter is Conor Gallagher.
Samuel Lino is on the other side of the comparison. Diario as an explanation that he is slowly winning the battle for the place on the left side of midfield in the start XI for Gallagher and Rodrigo Riquelme. Despite a fragmentary form this season, the Brazilian has returned to the starting line-up in recent weeks, and Simeone has decided to stay with him, despite a questionable decision in the Madrid Derby.
Lino, however, was the one who won the penalty against Los Blancos, and in their last eight games, five started, who came up during two more collisions during two more collisions. So far he has 4 goals and 5 assists this season, as well as the second dangerous player of Atletico in terms of dribbling.
On the other hand, Gallagher from the starting team is relaxed by Lino's return. In the middle of midfield, Pablo Barrios does his best to keep Captain Koke Resurreccion on the sidelines next to Rodrigo de Paul. On the other hand, Giuliano Simeone is a fixture on the right behind the front two.
The former Chelsea man arrived with a lot of fanfare in the Metropolitano and became a warm welcome through the Atletico, after a relocation of € 40 million from the Premier League. However, a fast start has given way to a more discreet run from Gallagher and now has only three starts in their last seven games. In the course of the season, Gallagher has two goals and three assists in 29 performances, good for 1,621 minutes.
