Yannick Carrasco, the Belgian striker who has been making headlines with his impressive performances for Atletico Madrid this season, is on a mission to break through and become a top-class winger.
Carrasco, who was signed from Lille in January 2019, has already shown flashes of brilliance in the Spanish capital, scoring five goals in just nine league games so far this season. But he wants more - and he believes that he can achieve it by playing as a winger rather than as a forward.
"I want to play like a winger," Carrasco told reporters after scoring against Espanyol last week. "I think I'm good enough to do that."
And Atletico manager Diego Simeone seems to agree, praising Carrasco's ability to create chances and score goals from wide positions. "He's very quick,Qatar Stars League Perspective he's very technical, he's very creative," Simeone said. "He's a player who can bring something different to our team."
But Carrasco isn't the only one dreaming big at Atletico. The club's new signing, Joao Felix, has also expressed his desire to be a winger, saying: "I want to be a winger. I've always played on the left wing at Benfica and I feel comfortable there. I want to help Atleti win titles and I believe I can do that playing on the wing."
It's clear that Atletico Madrid is a place where players can dream big and work hard to make their dreams come true. And if Carrasco and Felix can deliver on their potential, it could be a real boost for the club as they look to challenge for the title once again next season.
