Diego Pablo Simeone addresses the media from the Cerro del Espino prior to the clash against Girona . Atlético de Madrid face a new matchday after drawing in their LaLiga debut against Villarreal at La Cerámica . The Argentine coach plans several changes to the starting eleven that took to the field against the yellow submarine.
It will be a very special night for all the signings that have been announced so far, as they will be able to make their debut before the fans. It is true that all of them already had a very special night on Wednesday, but they have yet to show their true level. According to the latest tests, RobinLe Normand and Julián Álvarez will start against Girona.
Simeone revolutionizes his scheme
The debut against Villarreal left a very good impression in the first half, but certain deficiencies in the defensive aspect. Atlético de Madrid conceded a goal with very few chances created by the rival, something that worries Simeone . Although the signing of Clement Lenglet is practically already closed, he will not be able to be at the Metropolitano tomorrow.
The big change in the red-and-white team would be the starting position of Julián Álvarez, who already made his debut on Monday at La Cerámica . Simeone would give his compatriot the position of centre forward, while Alexander Sorloth will start from the bench of his substitutes. It should be remembered that the Norwegian debuted as a goalscorer in the first matchday, although Simeone substituted him at half-time.
Another of the big changes will be in the centre of the field, with Rodrigo de Paul being able to start. The Argentinean received harsh criticism after his poor form in the first match, but it seems that he still has Simone 's confidence. On the other hand, Koke and Pablo Barrios would also have options to be in the engine room, although not all of them can be starters.
