Samuel Lino has been one of the emblems of Simeone's Atlético since last season, when his emergence in the team was spectacular. The Brazilian is one of the best players in the Colchoneros and is essential in Cholo's schemes. However, his great performance at the capital club has not prevented Lino from receiving another blow in his career recently.
And once again, the Brazilian has been left out of the list of players called up for his country, something difficult to understand given his enormous quality. Lino is aware of his competition in "La Canarinha" , yes, but he still knows that he could have been part of the team without any problems. Even so, the talented Atlético extrem has once again been left out of Dorival Júnior 's plans.
Samuel Lino out of the national team
It is incredible to think that, given how important he is to Simeone , Lino has not received the opportunity to be called up for his country. The Brazilian is dying to wear the "green and yellow", but the time has not yet come for him. Lino , for his part, is patient and aware of his achievements at Atlético Madrid and the great form he is in, so he is not too worried.
In Diego Pablo Simeone 's starting 11 , the Brazilian is practically a fixture on the busy left flank, where he has dazzled everyone in LaLiga and the Champions League . Obtaining stratospheric numbers for a wing-back last season, Lino wants to continue forging his legend this year at Atlético . With energy, ambition and batteries charged, the number "12" knows that this season he can be even more different than the last and he will work hard to make it so.
Surrendered to Atlético de Madrid
Samuel Lino fell in love with the club from Atlético as soon as he found out about his transfer, regardless of his time at Valencia . Lino always had in mind to debut and be great at Atlético and he has already settled into the team permanently. Although he knows that he must continue to strive to add to his legend, Lino has an impeccable commitment and dedication under Simeone 's orders.
Benefit for Atlético
The reality is that the Brazilian coach's ignorance in not calling up Atlético 's young star is a huge advantage for the club. Lino will be able to rest and be much more focused on the Colchoneros, without being distracted by international commitments. That is why the Brazilian's absence with his country will be a huge benefit for an Atlético de Madrid team that is in love with its player.
