Simeone to make changes in the starting lineup

Simeone will put a different eleven on the pitch tomorrow compared to the one that played and drew last week against Sagan Tosu. The coach is still thinking about the team and yesterday he did exercises and tactical movements with the possible lineup that will play in Shanghai.

In goal, Oblak could play, as Moyá played in Japan. Wearing the yellow bib and presumed starters, Juanfran, Savic, Lucas, Siqueira; Koke, Gabi, Tiago, Óliver; Vietto and Griezmann formed the team. The system used by Cholo was a 4-4-2, with Gabi and Tiago in the double pivot and with Koke and Óliver entering from the sides.

Simeone seems to be still thinking about where to place Koke, as against Sagan Tosu he played in the double pivot and later closer to the opponent's area. If Vietto and Griezmann are finally starters, it seems that the coach wants them to always play together, either from the beginning or later, in order to get used to each other's movements.
