Recently, "Marca" talked about Simeone's magical substitution in Atletico's 3-2 victory over Vallecano. It was him who sent two fullbacks at the last moment and finally reversed the game.

Simone's Atletico Madrid coaching career is full of legendary victories, and he has repeatedly created miracles in adversity. However, in his latest game against Vallecano, he once again reversed the regular script. Although Alvarez is once again a key figure, Simeone's two substitution decisions at a critical moment were unexpected.

The Argentine coach has always been good at changing the situation of the game through substitutes, and Correa and Sollot are his usual surprises. But this time, facing Vallecano's lead, Simeone made a bold decision: replace Gallagher and Griezmann with Pubir and Rugeri. In other words, he sent two fullbacks at the end of the day, replacing a forward and an attacking midfielder. This move seems to confirm some people's stereotypes about Simeone's conservative tactics, but in fact, this adjustment became the key to the reversal.

Although Atletico Madrid no longer has veterans like Felipe, Juan Fran or Trippier, Simeone always believes that excellent full-backs can play an important role in the game. In this game, he even used four of five fullbacks. After Pubir and Rugery came on the court, they not only actively participated in the offense, but also continued to send high-quality crosses. It was Rugeri's assist that helped Alvarez score the equalizer goal, and Atletico Madrid finally completed the reversal.
