Rodrigo Mendoza Pushes for a Spot in Atlético Madrid’s Midfield

Under a 4-3-3 system, Atlético Madrid is looking to give Rodrigo Mendoza a chance in midfield. Injuries to Hjulmand and the ongoing recovery of Cardoso have opened up space for younger talent.

Mendoza aims to partner with Barrios and Koke to enhance ball distribution and attacking buildup. Coach Simeone believes this trio could inject fresh dynamism into the side.
