Sir Conor Gallagher, the new rock of Atlético de Madrid
Conor Gallagher, 24, is establishing himself as the fourth midfielder of Simeone at Atlético de Madrid. The Englishman has played two consecutive games as a starter, showing his strength and work on the pitch.
The statistics against Marbella are revealing: he was the player who attempted the most shots (3), the one who recovered the most balls (9), the one who won the most duels (11) and the second who participated in the most defensive actions (7).
Gallagher was also a starter in the first game of 2025 for the red-and-whites, a victory that sounds like serious aspirations. His entry into the starting lineup has helped the team to accumulate thirteen consecutive victories, thanks to his rocky and brave style.
Gallagher is the winner of Simeone’s duels in matches, the one who intercepts the most and one of those who receives the most fouls. He feels comfortable in a position closer to the area, on the left. ‘The Rock’ Sir Gallagher for Cholo.
