Is Marcos Llorente the answer to Diego Simeone’s attacking nightmare? Signed as a replacement for Rodri from city rivals Real Madrid, it was expected that Llorente would provide competition for Thomas Partey as Atleti’s deep-lying midfielder.
Then, that famous European night at Anfield.
In 64 minutes, Marcos Llorente may have changed his position at Atlético Madrid for good. While Álvaro Morata, Diego Costa and João Féliex struggle for consistency, El Cholo has a new support striker rampaging forward from the right.
His name is Marcos Llorente Moreno. His dog is called Anfield.

First!!!!!
Which other players have changed roles this season? Who has been the best in their new position? 🤔
Marcos is a quality player, his physicality, speed, and dribbling make him a huge threat. Definitely one of the most underrated players in La Liga
2nd
Marcos Llorente scores for Atleti against city rivals Getafe. 👀👀👀
He scored again tonight playing in that new role. Amazing and unexpected transformation. 👏
Llorente CF Card for FIFA 21? 😂
In my opinion, Atletico has always operating in the duo attacking partnership since the last decade…
From Forlan-Aguero, Falcao-Costa, Costa-Villa, Griezmann-Mandzukic, Griezmann-Torres and maybe Griezmann-Costa in the last season…
As a duo, the former was deployed as main goalscorer and the latter to help…
Who are the duo this season? I don't know, but Llorente has a great chance to revive that legacy as the helpmate but who is the main goalscorer? Morata? Felix? or a new striker???
Costa is past his be(a)st and probably leave next season after give his all to help the team winning the Champions league this season (hopefully) 😃
Keep it up squawka🙌
