Barrios: Fine-Tuning for Colchonero Takeoff

Pablo Barrios, a gem from the Rojiblanco youth academy, is receiving special attention from Atlético de Madrid’s coaching staff. This week, the midfielder has been working apart from the main group under the supervision of Juan Ángel Piñeiro, one of Luis Piñedo’s assistants.

This individualized program focuses on load management and preventing potential muscle problems, especially important after a demanding start to the season for Barrios, who joined earlier due to his participation in the Olympic Games.

The goal is for Barrios to reach the decisive stage of the season in optimal physical condition. The specific work includes control exercises, passes, shots, and changes of pace, simulating match situations relevant to his position on the field.

The club is aware of the crucial importance Barrios has within Simeone’s scheme. His presence in the starting eleven, as demonstrated by playing complete important matches, is fundamental to the team’s success. Ensuring that he is 100% physically is a priority for Atlético de Madrid, who fully trust his talent and commitment to face the challenges ahead.

Saúl Ñíguez: A Rojiblanco Future in Seville?

Saúl Ñíguez, a leader on the field, currently on loan at Sevilla, generates expectations and debate among the Seville fans. Despite the criticism, his 6 assists demonstrate his value in the League, establishing himself as one of the most outstanding players in the reconstruction project of the Andalusian team.

Coming from Atlético de Madrid, Saúl signed a two-season loan, an agreement that, according to the ‘Abc’ newspaper, is favorable for Sevilla, since they only assume a small part of his salary.

Although Saúl’s performance is positively valued for his influence in a young squad, there is a clause that allows both the player and the club to break the loan next summer. This option offers flexibility in the face of possible offers or changes in the planning of the Seville team.

At this time, the Andalusian club is satisfied with the midfielder’s contribution, recognizing his potential to continue growing and leading the team. Saúl is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming derby, given the shortage of troops due to the sanctions of Agoumé and Sow. His experience and leadership will be essential to face this important match.

Atleti Takes Action: Denounces Rival Players to UEFA

Atlético de Madrid is not standing idly by and has raised its voice before UEFA after the recent derby. The Colchoneros club has sent UEFA four videos that record attitudes they consider unsportsmanlike by Real Madrid players during the celebration of their team’s qualification in front of the Rojiblancos fans at the Metropolitano.

Among the most controversial actions, the gesture of cutting the neck made by Rudiger towards the stands stands out, an act that has generated great indignation among the Atlético fans. The videos also show other attitudes that the club considers provocations, such as those of Vinicius.

Atlético hopes that UEFA will take action on the matter and sanction these behaviors, as it did in the past with Diego Simeone for a celebration that it considered inappropriate. The Colchoneros fans trust that UEFA will act with the same yardstick and defend the values of fair play in European football. The club has taken steps to defend the integrity of the Rojiblancos fans and is confident of a prompt response from the competent bodies.

Giuliano Simeone: A Rising Talent

Great news for the Red and White family! Giuliano Simeone, Atlético de Madrid player, is nominated for the best U-23 player in LaLiga for the month of March. This recognition comes as the icing on the cake for a month of outstanding performances, where the young Argentinian has demonstrated his worth on the field.

Despite the team only achieving one victory in the three league matches played in March (against Athletic at the Metropolitano), Giuliano’s individual performance has not gone unnoticed. But the good news doesn’t end there.

Giuliano has a great chance of starting for the Argentinian national team in the match against Uruguay in Montevideo. This would be a dream come true for the player, who not long ago saw even the call-up for the Paris Olympic Games as a distant goal.

“He is a true reflection of his father,” declared Lionel Scaloni, the national team coach, highlighting the talent and determination of the young Simeone. The possible starting position in the match against Uruguay could come at the expense of De Paul, who arrived somewhat overloaded from Atlético de Madrid. Without a doubt, a golden moment for Giuliano, who continues to demonstrate his potential and keep the name of Atlético de Madrid high.
