Thomas Partey's breakout season with Atletico Madrid

Published on: 06 June 2017

Thomas Teye Partey, is a 23-year-old Ghanaian and current member of the ranks of the 'Cholo' Simeone. The just-ended La Liga season gave him one of the greatest opportunities of his career.

Who was going to tell Thomas two seasons ago that he would play the Champions League in one of the four best clubs in Europe?

Football has given him an opportunity that may serve as a shuttle to propel himself to new and future challenges and goals to be proposed in his professional career.

Enough qualities to shine on a Champion team

The Ghanaian began to shine for his versatility in the field.

Although initially considered a midfielder of the style to Gabi , he has been able to prove that he is one of the players of the rojiblanco club that can handle the ball.

In addition, his great physical portent plays in favor at the time of resisting attacks after 90 minutes of the game.

Superb Substitute and very versatile

The withdrawal of Tiago, the age of Gabi and the uncertainty about the return of Augusto Fernández to the playing fields are the perfect opportunity for the Ghanaian to continue demonstrating to Simeone that he can improve.

He already has after injuries to players on both sides right in the final stretch of the season.

Simeone chose Thomas as one of the alternatives to cover the right lane, and proved to be the most accepted.

Not only did the Ghanaian guard the defence but his support to the strikers was exceptional.
