It is a curious circumstance not because of the negative, but quite the opposite. The defender has played every minute of every game this season by the orders of the boss. Getafe, Leganés, Eibar, Real Sociedad and Celta were their rivals in the tournament.
In fact, in his first game with Atletico, he managed to get an assist, this helped to win the game as the final score was 1-0, this meant he debuted at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium with a victory, something that was vital for him.
Hence, in the following games, his coach returned to have him without problems. There isn't a single second of any game that he hasn't played since arriving in the Spanish capital. His performances are expected to continue to be liked by his team.
He cost 22 million euros, which seems to be money well spent in terms of quality. Other renowned stars such as Antoine Griezmann or Eden Hazard are far from giving as good a performance in their first weeks.
