Galán: Atlético's Secret Weapon in Dribbling

2025-03-21 Diario As

In an Atlético de Madrid that shines with its offensive power and consolidates itself in the top positions of the standings, the surprise jumps out in the dribbling statistics.

Despite having stellar figures such as Julián Alvarez, Griezmann, and Giuliano Simeone, it is Javi Galán who leads the table of successful dribbles in the team. The player from Extremadura, who at the beginning of the season did not count for Simeone, has become an important piece in the scheme of the Argentine coach.

His irruption in the derby against Real Madrid, with an assist included, marked a turning point in his role within the team. Galán has a total of 65 completed dribbles out of 99 attempts, surpassing Lino and Julián.

While it is true that his defensive facet has generated some doubts, his contribution in attack is undeniable. He is the fourth player on the team with the most good crosses into the area, surpassed only by Llorente, Griezmann, and De Paul, despite having played fewer minutes than them.

In addition, he leads the team in offensive duels won, ahead of De Paul, Julián, and Gallagher. Simeone values the versatility that Galán and Reinildo provide him on the left side, two players with opposing characteristics that allow him to adapt his tactical approach according to the rival and the needs of the match. With Galán, Atlético gains overflow, skill and an offensive plus that makes him a secret weapon to unbalance matches.

Griezmann: A key decision for the future of Atlético

2025-03-20 Diario As

Antoine Griezmann faces a crucial crossroads for his future as a ‘colchonero’. With his 34th birthday just celebrated and a contract until 2026, the French star must inform the club in these days whether he continues defending the red and white jersey or opts for a new challenge in the MLS, where former teammates like Lloris and Giroud await him.

After a demanding season, where he has shown signs of fatigue, Griezmann remains a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, being the most used outfield player. Despite this, the interest from the American league and the presence of friends at Los Angeles FC could influence his decision.

This month of March, and especially this week, are decisive. Atlético’s management expects to meet with the player to know his intentions and plan the future of the team.

Although the club already has a guaranteed replacement like Julián, Griezmann’s possible departure would leave an important void in the locker room and in the hearts of the fans. Beyond the numbers and goals, Griezmann has earned a place in Atlético’s history, breaking records and leaving an indelible mark.

His connection with the club and the fans is undeniable, and his decision will mark a before and after in the recent history of the club. Whatever happens, both Atlético and Griezmann are destined to say goodbye at the height of the player’s legacy at the club.

Morata: A Red and White Heart Beyond the Metropolitano

2025-03-20 Diario As

Álvaro Morata, a player who embodies passion and commitment, experienced a bittersweet summer after winning the European Championship. Despite the sporting success, personal decisions led him to distance himself from the club he loves, Atlético de Madrid.

In retrospect, Morata acknowledges that perhaps he did not fully evaluate the value that Cholo Simeone and the fans gave him. His departure was felt in the locker room, where his human qualities and dedication always added up.

Morata is remembered for his immense work on the field, opening spaces and battling tirelessly. The difficult moments, marked by pressure and criticism, deeply affected the striker, leading him to seek new horizons. However, his heart has always belonged to Atleti, his childhood team.

Despite his successful present at Galatasaray, Morata does not forget his red and white roots and dreams of a future close to the Metropolitano. His departure forced the club to look for a replacement, finding in Sorloth an important piece for the forward line.

Morata remains a fundamental pillar in the Spanish national team, a leader who represents the values of the team. With his sights set on the World Cup, the striker keeps the flame of illusion alive, always carrying the Atleti shield in his heart. His story is a reminder that, beyond triumphs and adversities, the feeling for a club lasts forever.

Atlético: A History of Arbitral Disagreements

2025-03-19 Diario As

The history of Atlético de Madrid is punctuated by arbitral controversies, both nationally and in Europe. From the times of Guruceta to the recent performance of Marciniak, the rojiblanco fans have engraved in their memory numerous matches marked by controversial decisions.

We remember the controversial refereeing of Guruceta in the 1979 Copa del Rey, where Real Madrid eliminated Atlético in a match full of controversial decisions. Later, Álvarez Margüenda starred in a refereeing performance that deprived Atlético of a League they had within reach in the 80-81 season.

In the European sphere, the performance of Babacan in the 1973-74 European Cup semi-final left the team with eight players, although the team achieved a heroic victory in the return leg. In more recent times, the name of Gil Manzano generates concern in the rojiblanco dressing room.

His decisions in key matches, including questionable expulsions and the omission of clear penalties, have fueled the perception of unfavorable treatment. The 2016 Champions League final, directed by Clattenburg, also left a bitter taste due to an offside goal conceded to Real Madrid.

The performance of Marciniak is the latest chapter in this long history. The Colchoneros fans hope that these episodes will remain in the past and that the future will bring fairer refereeing for the team.
