Three 'Simeones' in three weeks at the Príncipe Felipe
Cacereño had already faced Gianluca 18 days ago in the visit of Rayo Majadahonda. The son of Cholo is the best ‘scouting’ to attest to the difficulty of the Príncipe Felipe.
Although Cáceres has never enjoyed the First division, its good performance in amateur football has turned the Príncipe Felipe stadium into the trampoline for the stars of the current panorama to pass through.
Thus, if two seasons ago Cacereño gave the bell by knocking out Girona, today it will complete its particular ‘hat-trick’ of clashes against one of the most illustrious football sagas, that of the Simeone.
Curiously, in just 18 days, three members of the family will have passed through the Extremadura coliseum, as if Cholo and Giuliano today are the focus with Atlético, on November 17 it was Gianluca who paraded the Simeone surname defending the Rayo Majadahonda shirt.
Precisely the recent visit of the forward served as the best ‘report’ of what his father and brother will find today at the Príncipe Felipe.
In this sense, although Cholo already perceived in the videos with which Atlético analyzed its rival that it is a competitive and powerful team in its field, the first-hand experience of Gianluca had already put him on the trail.
Not in vain, the middle son of Simeone would come up against a harsh marking of Javi Barrio and Adrián Crespo, two of the pillars that embody the strength of Cacereño as a local, leaving without scoring after the final 1-0. However, the defeat would not prevent Gianluca from detecting the ‘weaknesses’ on which Atlético will try to insist to take the ‘revenge’ of the Simeone.
