Maroan: Explosion and Hope at the Metropolitano

Athletic Club is preparing for an important match at the Metropolitano, seeking to add key points. Despite the significant absence of Sancet, their top scorer, the team trusts its regulars and the emergence of new figures such as Jauregizar and, especially, Maroan.

The latter, who recently arrived at the club in the winter market from Alavés for around 4 million euros, presents himself as an unbalancing element for Valverde’s offense. Maroan has already demonstrated his worth by debuting as a scorer in the First Division and adding power to the rojiblanco attack.

His signing responds to the need for a striker with his physical characteristics, after standing out at Barakaldo and Alavés’ reserve team. The striker, born in Vitoria, aims to debut with the Moroccan national team, his parents’ country, while fully integrating into Valverde’s scheme.

The match at the Metropolitano represents a great opportunity for Maroan, a showcase to show his talent and a possible gateway to his European debut. Despite Sancet’s absence, the team is confident in Maroan’s freshness and ambition to face this important challenge.

De Paul: Simeone's pampered rojiblanco engine

Rodrigo de Paul is experiencing a sweet moment at Atlético de Madrid, consolidating himself as a key piece in Simeone’s scheme. After a personal chat with Cholo after Friday’s training, the Argentine coach recognized his valuable contribution to the team.

De Paul, the fourth player with the most minutes this season (more than 2,000 in 36 games), has become a tireless engine in midfield. His ability to generate play, combine in attack and contribute decisive goals has earned him the recognition of the fans and the coaching staff.

Simeone, aware of De Paul’s importance, seeks to dose his efforts, especially with an eye on the important match on Tuesday. The midfielder will not start in the match against Athletic at the Metropolitano, a strategic decision to ensure his physical and mental freshness.

Gone are the criticisms of the past, now De Paul has won over the Colchoneros fans thanks to his dedication and determination in every match. His evolution has been remarkable and his influence on the team’s play is undeniable, making him one of the most decisive players in the squad. The chat between Simeone and De Paul shows mutual trust and appreciation, a key factor for the proper functioning of the team.

Sorloth: The Colchonero Catalyst Ready to Take Off

Alexander Sorloth, the Norwegian striker, is emerging as a likely starter in the upcoming match, thanks to his remarkable performance and dedication. His recent four goals in the last three Copa del Rey matches, combined with his ability to change the course of games from the bench, have made him a key player for Atlético.

Sorloth has proven to be an effective catalyst, altering the outcome against direct rivals. A clear example was his assist to Correa against Athletic at San Mamés, which silenced the local fans. The coaching staff, aware of the demanding schedule, is opting for rotations to maintain the team’s freshness.

In this context, Sorloth could take a place in the starting eleven alongside Griezmann, at the expense of Julián. Simeone values the Norwegian’s effectiveness and exemplary attitude, who always prioritizes the collective.

Despite being the 16th player in minutes played, Sorloth has earned the respect of everyone at the club thanks to his commitment and tireless work. Every minute on the field is used to the fullest, saving the team in critical moments. This well-deserved recognition will give him the opportunity to prove his worth from the start.

Signings that excited and didn't click: A look from a Red and White Perspective

In the world of football, not all signings turn out as promised. At Atlético de Madrid, as in any big club, there have been incorporations that generated great expectation but, for various reasons, failed to shine as expected.

We fondly remember the arrival of Marcelo ‘Pato’ Sosa in 2004, a player who, although he did not have the desired impact on the field, left a memorable anecdote at his presentation at the Calderón. His dedication and passion, demonstrated in every minute, will always be remembered by the Colchoneros fans.

It is important to remember that football is a team sport and that individual success is intrinsically linked to the collective. Although some signings may not have met expectations, they have always contributed their bit to the club.

Their dedication and effort deserve recognition from the fans. From the management to the last player, everyone works tirelessly to take Atlético de Madrid to the top. Each signing, each effort, each game is an opportunity to continue building a future full of successes and joys for the Red and White fans! Aúpa Atleti!

Atlético, an impregnable fortress for Athletic

Since moving to the Metropolitano in 2017, Atlético de Madrid has turned its stadium into a real fortress for Athletic Club in La Liga. The Lions have not achieved victory in their visits to the Colchonero stronghold in the domestic championship.

In seven matches played at the Metropolitano, Athletic has only managed to salvage a draw, specifically in the 2021/22 season, while the remaining six ended with victories for Atlético. The difficulty for Athletic in defeating Atlético away extends to the old Vicente Calderón.

To find Athletic’s last league victory away from home against the Colchoneros, you have to go back to the 2010/11 season, when, with Quique Sánchez Flores on the opposing bench, the Bilbao team won 0-2 with a double from Gaizka Toquero.

Despite the negative streak in La Liga, Athletic does know what it’s like to beat Atlético away from home in other competitions. Just last year, in the Copa del Rey semifinals, the Vizcainos achieved a valuable minimal victory thanks to a penalty goal by Álex Berenguer. The challenge for Athletic is to replicate that level of competitiveness shown in the Cup to break Atlético’s unbeaten streak at their stadium and revive the fight for the top positions on the table.
