Simeone is terrified of a Madrid player: he has requested double marking against him

Real Madrid has started the season on a high level. Even so, several mistakes have been made, and in some games the presence of Toni Kroos in the middle of the field has been essential. The German still retains his quality and his prodigious vision of the game , and that is something that unsettles all rival defenses.

Simeone considers that Kroos can be the fundamental piece of Real Madrid to open holes in its defense, and for this reason he has insisted during the week on having a player keeping an eye on him at all times , to avoid in this way that he can comfortably receive the ball.

The Madrid midfielder has been a substitute in most of the games that have been played at the start of the season, but in the derby he could be a starter . His performances in recent games show that Madrid still needs him, and playing accompanied by Tchouaméni , Camavinga, Valverde or Bellingham, his physical effort is inferior.

Both teams feel that they are playing a very important game. For Madrid it will be a test after the first five victories in this League . The derby is always one of the great matches of the season, both because of the rivalry and the quality of the players.

Atlético de Madrid is coming off a bad streak , after losing and drawing in the last two games. The last one was also tragic, since the Lazio goalkeeper scored the tying goal in the 93rd minute. For this reason, they will seek to vindicate themselves in front of their fans against their eternal rival.

Carlo Ancelotti is confident of winning the match to reaffirm his leadership and continue winning victories. In addition, he will now count on Vinicius Junior , who has already recovered from his injury. Of course, he has not assured that he will be a starter.
