Ángel Correa is one of the most praised footballers in Atlético de Madrid. And it makes perfect sense, since he is one of the longest-serving players that DiegoPablo Simeone has under his command at present along with Koke, Giménez, Griezmann, Oblak, etc. In addition, despite never having been a footballer who has managed to maintain his starting position for a long time, he has always respected Cholo's decisions.
He has always had several teammates ahead of him, but Ángel Correa has managed to remain the "perfect substitute" and accepted his role during his years at Atlético de Madrid. This Thursday, "angelito" will have a new date with the ChampionsLeague once again to face RB Leipzig, where, possibly, he will have to wait patiently for his opportunity from the bench. Before this match, the Atlético player underwent a small test to train his most complete player based on a series of important characteristics.
Great Presence from the Colchoneros
It is not surprising that when a player undergoes this type of "test", he mentions many of his teammates. However, in the case of Ángel Correa, he referred to a player that few would expect due to the distance between clubs. Firstly, the player with the best pace, for the Argentine, would undoubtedly be Marcos Llorente, a footballer who has always stood out for his physical power and speed.
Sweeping for home, when it comes to defining the footballer who has the best passing, ÁngelCorrea says that he would choose his compatriot De Paul. Something similar happened when answering to who has the best dribble, placing himself in such an ability. This does not sound preposterous, however, since "angelito" has always stood out for his great qualities when it comes to getting rid of defenders in small spaces.
Continuing with the "test", when referring to defensive qualities, Ángel Correa opts for JoséMaría Giménez . The Uruguayan centre-back is also highly valued by his teammate, as he is currently one of the best footballers of Atlético de Madrid at the start of the 24/25 season. He would do the same with the "titan" Alexander Sorloth regarding the best physical strength, all of this under the emotional phrase of the Argentine where he emphatically states that "my teammates will always be the best".
However, when it comes to choosing the best shot by a footballer currently in the ChampionsLeague, the Argentine would opt for Phil Foden, a Manchester City player. A player he was able to see very closely a few years ago when the Englishman eliminated the red-whites in the quarter-finals with good performance. These games, added to the fact that he is one of Guardiola 's best footballers, justify the choice of Ángel Correa, although the name of a teammate could be expected.
He isn't Full of Himself about being the Best
Finally, the last question would be to choose the footballer who, at present, is the most complete in Europe. Ángel Correa would not hesitate to mention Leo Messi, who is currently in the MLS in the United States, as he did not want to dare choose a current player. It is not surprising that Argentine footballers always refer to their "number 10", as he is one of the best players that football has ever produced in its history.
