Atletico Madrid's Marcos Llorente: Plays fullback in draw

Llorente created one chance and kept a clean sheet as a right-back during Monday's scoreless draw with Sweden in Group E.

Analysis:

Llorente was given the start in defense in a tactical wrinkle meant to fit in another dynamic midfielder instead of trying to start Cesar Azpilicueta or Adam Traore in that spot. Though Llorente performed well, the end result of the match suggest that this was a decision not necessary to earning the victory. As a result, it's important to consider who starts at right-back over games against Poland and Slovakia, with Traore being the most attacking of the three.
