paragraph”>Good morning. In just under an hour and a half, Atlético will play their third friendly match of the summer (14:00 hours, Movistar Plus) against Kitchee from Hong Kong. The red and whites drew against Numancia in their first match (won on penalties) and won against Getafe in the second.<p class="ue-c-articleparagraph”>The main attraction of the match lies in the possible debut of Alexander Sorloth, the latest signing for Atlético. The Norwegian boarded the plane to Hong Kong just hours after signing his contract, and in his first training session with the team, Simeone already experimented with him in the starting eleven. Thus, he is expected to start.
<p class="ue-c-articleparagraph”>He will likely share the starting lineup with Joao Félix, who is one of the players that generates the most excitement among the fans in Hong Kong. The Portuguese player already scored against Getafe.
While waiting for the operation involving Julián Álvarez to be resolved, all attention is focused on Sorloth. Simeone dreams of pairing the Norwegian, the Argentine, and Griezmann, a dream attack. Also, keep an eye on the system that Simeone will use, who finished last season employing the 5-4-1 formation and may continue to rely on it at the start of the upcoming season. Let’s go, it’s about to begin.
