  • Sanction: The FA punishes Trippier with 10 weeks for a bet related to his transfer to Atlético

When

Cholo Simeone

decided that

56 minutes

was more than enough, he offered

Vrsaljko

his hand to hit her.

The Croatian responded to his coach's accomplice gesture strongly, suggesting his satisfaction with what he had done on the pitch in his first start as a starter in more than 10 months.

The Croatian full-back did not do especially well or especially badly, a correct game, without concrete actions that could be highlighted.

It is not little for a footballer who accumulated such inactivity, just

15 minutes of the Cup so far this season

.

Perhaps many athletic people did not even remember that the Croatian was still on their team.

And in a certain way it is logical, since since his spectacular

2018 World Cup

he has only played nine games and another 13 with Inter, where he played on loan in the 2018/19 season.

Since then, a carousel of

injuries and operations

on the knee.

“It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but it is normal after so long.

He is a player who has always given us a lot, with personality and with the national team, who will grow game after game, ”Simeone praised him.

Cholo had to appeal to him for the 10-week sanction that

Trippier

will have to serve

for the ugly issue of betting on his signing for Atlético.

Vrsaljko is his natural replacement in the right lane of the defense, whether in a line of five like this Wednesday or four, but his shooting advised against playing the entire match.

So, before game time, Simeone came up with an alternative.

And despite having spoken well of the young

Ricard

in the previous one, he chose to shoot for his boy for everything,

Marcos Llorente

, who is a midfielder, interior, midfielder, forward and now also right lane.

As it happened with Vrsaljko, the Madrilenian served with solvency in that demarcation, without major milestones to highlight.

He also didn't give her much time to shine or dig her grave.

For the final 10 minutes, Simeone opted to invent a more defensive solution, giving entry to

Giménez

- instead of the striker

Luis Suárez

- to cover the right lane and end the game with four pure centrals on the field.

Together they contributed to the end of 2020 without anyone being able to win at Wanda.
