Atlético de Madrid are training these days at the Cerro del Espino sports complex in Majadahonda. Meanwhile, there is a break for international matches during which some of the red-and-white players have been called up. However, Samuel Lino has been one of the players who has taken part in the training sessions directed by Diego Pablo Simeone in Madrid.
A very international Atlético de Madrid
Since the club's growth, led by Simeone after his arrival, Atlético de Madrid has become an international club . At each break, the red-and-whites loan many of their players to their national teams of origin. Most of them are undisputed starters, and it is unthinkable for them not to participate in matches between countries.
A very revealing fact is that Atlético de Madrid , in recent years, has always been in the leading positions in terms of world champion players in its squad. Currently, it is the team with the most players with a star, with a total of six. These are: Antoine Griezmann , Thomas Lemar , Rodrigo De Paul , Ángel Correa , Nahuel Molina and Julián Álvarez .
This circumstance makes the offices of the red-and-white club tremble at every international break. The FIFA virus , that is, injuries during international breaks, are very present in teams that have many international players. In the next few days we will see if we do not have to regret the first injury of the season .
Brazil does not recognize Samuel Lino's quality
Following the break, some players are starting preparations for the upcoming matches inMajadahonda . The players who have not been called up to their national teams are training these days under the orders of Diego Pablo Simeone . There have been many controversial 'non-calls', such as those of Koke or Marcos Llorente , but one of the most controversial has been that of Samuel Lino .
Brazilian Samuel Lino was one of Atlético de Madrid 's best players last season. He is also one of the most in-form players in the squad, creating danger on the wing with every contact with the ball. For Simeone , the Brazilian is one of the undisputed players in the red-and-white eleven, which he only comes out of in less important games.
However, his quality and dedication in every match are not recognised in his home country, Brazil . The Brazilian has not yet made his debut with the ' canarinha ', and is eagerly awaiting his opportunity. Samuel Lino has made merits to be on the Dorival Junior list, but the coach has not yet counted on him.
Samuel Lino has been dealt another cold shower after being left out of the Brazilian national team once again. After not being called up for the Copa América, he has once again had to stay in training with the team in Madrid. We will see if he gets the opportunity he has deserved in recent months during the next break.
