Author of an XXL performance against Valencia, Thomas Lemar received praise from his trainer, Diego Simeone.
Recruited in 2018 for nearly 70 million euros from AS Monaco, Thomas Lemar is far from having convinced the side of Madrid. Very little used by Diego Simeone in the last two seasons, a departure was even considered during the last transfer window. But while FC Porto would be interested in the arrival of the French international, the situation is changing. In recent weeks, the Colchoneros’ style of play has been increasingly turned towards the offensive. With technical players like Marcos Llorente and João Félix, the “Atletico Bus”, it’s over! In this less defensive style, the qualities of Thomas Lemar can be better expressed, and the southpaw seems to come back to the fore. Author of a very big match during the victory of his family on the lawn of FC Valence, the 25-year-old player received praise from his coach at a press conference.
« I am very happy with Lemar’s performance. It had been a while since he signed a performance like this one today. Lemar is a very good player, believe me! In the team, we don’t have a single player with his speed, his handling of the ball, his style … I hope we can give him the confidence he needs, because he is a player. who can do us a lot of good “Said” El Cholo “. Currently second in La Liga tied on points with Real Sociedad (but with one game less), Atletico seems equipped to fight for the title to the end. In this quest for a Liga that has eluded them since 2014, the Colchoneros will need a Thomas Lemar in shape and in full confidence. Diego Simeone’s words will no doubt help.
