Atlético de Madrid celebrates 120 years – “Annoying since 1903”, says the video with which the club and the agency Mrs. Rushmore pay homage to the founders of the club– and wants to celebrate it in a better way than the centenary. Then, in the 2002/2003 season, it was a team recently promoted to the First Division that was trying to recover its place. Luis Aragonés sat on the bench, but the team was far from being what it is, led by his best heir, Simeone. That day they lost against Osasuna (0-1) with a goal from Iván Rosado.
Atlético will complete the tribute with a white and blue uniform, like the first it has worn in its history, which was also the one worn by the father, the Athletic Club of Bilbao. In addition, several historical Atlético players will be present at the match.
“Each one from the place where we are trying to best represent what Atlético de Madrid is,” says Cholo to explain what the club means, although he admits that he would need much more time to develop an answer.
Atlético arrives at the anniversary without the illusion, even if it was distant, of clinging to the League after Sunday’s defeat against Barcelona at the Camp Nou and with the sole ambition of beating Real Madrid to be second in the championship.
For that you will have to improve aim. The rojiblanco team has gone thirteen games without losing between the two defeats against Barcelona, but only three of the victories have been by more than one goal; against Valladolid and Valencia it was 3-0 and 6-1 against Sevilla. And only in two other games did he score more than one goal.
Griezmann’s good second part of the season has made the Frenchman the rojiblanco team’s top scorer. He has twelve goals, the same as Morata, but sometimes it is not enough to score.
After the World Cup, Atlético has become the most attractive team in the League, but the goals are difficult for them, as he demonstrated on Sunday against Barcelona. In the big games, against Real Madrid and against Barcelona, he has only gotten one point this season. “That only reflects that they have been better than us in direct duels,” says the Atlético coach, who They will not be able to count on Savic for this match, penalized for five yellow cards and now also injured, nor on Llorente, who suffers a muscle injury, nor on Oblak, who has a cervical contracture.
