As: Baena can deliver shells to Alvarez, he will solve Atletico Madrid s offensive stubbornness

According to official news, Atletico Madrid signed 23-year-old attacker Baena from Villarreal. According to Romano, the total price of this transfer is 50 million euros. Recently, the Spanish media Assad commented on the new Atletico Madrid aid.

Baena's joining brought Atletico Madrid a player who can create opportunities in the opponent's half, which is exactly what the team lacks. The team has felt this sharply in recent months, Griezmann and De Paul's imagination when delivering shells for Alvarez and Sollot. Baenna is also an excellent set-piece player, and Atletico Madrid is working hard to regain the advantages in this field. Baena was the player with the most opportunities in major European leagues last season.

According to statistics, Baenna created 95 goals opportunities, ranking first, surpassing Rafinia (91 times), B Fee (91 times) and Olise (91 times). In the Simeone era, no one in Atletico had created so many opportunities, not only could he not meet Baena's 95 times, but he even failed to surpass the 84 times he created in the 2023-24 season.

Under Simeone, Griezmann created 84 opportunities in the 2022-23 season, making him the leader in Atletico Madrid's history of this data. The second is Cork's 80 times in the 2012-13 season. In fact, Griezmann and Coke have won the top eight in Atletico history in this stat, but as the two reach 34 and 33, it's time to find new players.

At the same time, this move is also in line with the strategy of equipping Alvarez with high-quality players. The combination of Alvarez and Baenna is exciting. In addition, Baenna was Sollot's teammate during Villarreal and knew him well, and the two cooperated very well. Baenna will provide a lot of assists at Atletico Madrid, and he will also solve Atletico Madrid's offensive problems and the stubborn problems with the left wing. Last season, Simeone tried various plans at this position without success.
