Doubts in Valladolid Ahead of Atlético: Will Rubio Count on Luis Pérez?
The week in Valladolid has been marked by the incident between Luis Pérez and Latasa during the match against Getafe. The club has opened a file on both players and has removed the captain’s armband from Luis Pérez.
Although both players apologized, they face a fine for their behavior, which is considered very serious. The big question is whether Luis Pérez will be called up for the crucial match against Atlético.
Coach Álvaro Rubio has maintained the uncertainty, stating that he will make the final decision at the last moment. “Until tomorrow (for today) I will not make that decision. I always make the decisions at the end, I like to get to the last day.
I will have to make a list because I now have more players than can enter,” said Rubio. In recent games, Luis Pérez has not been a starter in Zorrilla, with Candela taking his place, although he has played as a visitor.
The player’s possible poor relationship with the fans could influence the coach’s decision. Atlético fans are expecting a hard-fought match, regardless of Valladolid’s final line-up. The professionalism and dedication that characterize Atlético will be key to facing this match.
