Tote: A Red and White Heart that Beats Stronger
Jorge López Marco, Tote, a former professional footballer, has always shown his passion for Atlético de Madrid, even after debuting at Real Madrid, a club he joined after Jesús Gil’s controversial decision to close the colchonera academy.
Tote never hid his feelings, not even when he was a player. Now, retired, he speaks openly about his love for Atleti. In a recent interview, Tote confessed that, although he was initially a Real Madrid fan due to family influence, his love for Atleti was born at the Vicente Calderón.
‘From the moment I started going to the Calderón, an eternal love for Atleti entered me,’ he stated. This unconditional love story remained intact despite his time as a Real Madrid player. Tote describes it as that first love that remains special despite later experiences.
‘With Atleti, I feel something I don’t feel anywhere else. I feel victories and defeats in a special way,’ he explains. For Tote, being an Atleti fan goes beyond logic; it is a matter of the heart. ‘I can’t explain this. It is my heart that feels it.
And I pay a lot of attention to my heart. I don’t trust my head, but my heart,’ he concludes, proving that his passion for Atleti is authentic and unbreakable.
