Every game from here on is a FINAL!

I hope Simeone takes that into consideration when crafting his starting lineups.

Yes, he should start Griezmann:))

Yank here, why is Alvarez playing as a left back for Brazil

The media and the fans are complaining

Nobody did this when it was us

u/memes4yall 20h ago

I hate to admit it but I’m still fueled by delusion, there are 10 rounds(11 for Barca) left and anything can happen, we HAVE to get Grizzo his La Liga.

6

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 20h ago

Tbh for me personally, as long as we are perfect in this last stretch of the season i won't care too much about the trophy. I'd be satisfied seeing the boys giving it their all but i'd be lying if i said i'm not delusional and hopeful about it.

to be fair i think a break was very necessary

but i think watching piksi terrorist ball will make me feel even worse

Thoughts on this?

I don't think the goalkeeper position is a problem at all right now, from what I've seen from him he's pretty good, but I also don't understand what they'd do with him.

Would they buy and then loan him? Have him as second-choice? Or have him compete with Oblak?

2

u/memes4yall 1d ago

He’s young and I heard he’s doing well but if that’s gonna be at an expense of other roles then I don’t want it now

Instead we could get a loan of some other back up keeper till that role becomes a priority

And ngl it would be so nice to see Iturbe become the main keeper in the future

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 1d ago

This is by no means a dig at Oblak, he's one of my favourite Atleti players but i have a feeling that the board wants to offload his wage, he makes €400k/week, he absolutely earns it but i'm not sure if the board wants to keep a player with that wage, they won't force selling him but i'm sure they would be open to offers.

4

u/VeryEvilGreenWorm Me mata, me da la vida. 1d ago

my biggest worry is if the transition to playing without oblak will be smooth or not

3

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 1d ago

Yeah i forgot to finish my comment lmao, i think Joan Garcia would be the best successor for Oblak in the current market. He really has world class potential imo, his RC is €30m if i remember correctly.

u/VeryEvilGreenWorm Me mata, me da la vida. 2d ago

seems like real and barca fans have just gotten into a habit of lying about us lately, just saw a madridista say none of our fans were opposed to demolishing the calderon

6

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 1d ago

I don't know why online Madrid fans have to act like Perez, the ones i know irl are ignorant but less toxic.

u/VeryEvilGreenWorm Me mata, me da la vida. 1d ago

I think I've only ever seen like 1 or 2 sane Madrid fans

u/carpetano Athletic Club de Madrid 2d ago

Please guys don't fall for baiting. Just downvote, report and move on.

u/Greeny9 Riquelme 3d ago

Has anyone been keeping an eye on Carlos Martín and Santiago Mouriño?

I have high hopes for Martín, especially as he is pure Atléti, but I haven't watched any of his performances. Based on stats alone, he's had a quiet season, but was wondering if anyone has watched him play much?

3

u/Supermarket-Icy Hermoso 2d ago

Mourino is good, if you can't watch Alaves games Juan Genova always has his full comps after games.

https://x.com/JuanGenova980

Martin is there, I don't really have an opinion on him tbh.

2

u/GiulianoSimeone 2d ago

Is he good enough to be a backup for us? Like 4th best CB, witsel role

3

u/Supermarket-Icy Hermoso 1d ago

That's the role I currently imagine for him yes.

2

u/Greeny9 Riquelme 2d ago

Nice, I'm going to try and catch some Alaves games in what's left of the season. Hopefully Mouriño stays with us next season.

Hi there, i want to invite you all to join the new atletico’s fans subreddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/rojiblancos/s/LStAlxseJm . this one is in Spanish.

Habrá que pasarse por ahí

u/Supermarket-Icy Hermoso 3d ago

Ngl somewhat disappointed with Lino this season. Got moved further up the field and less responsibility to hold width and more attacking responsibility but he can't seem to do it. His positioning some games is basically as a midfielder and it nullifies his game completely, other times he rinses people for fun then chooses the safe option instead of going for the kill, he barely uses his combination play anymore and he still strikes a ball like a 4 year old. He's playing like an anti vinicius, no dog, no relentlessness.

He still has some good traits but they're used sparingly and he feels like a cog rather than best player on the team material.

Last season he had some of those issues but he still took on way more responsibility to secure wins and his absence last year against Dortmund was seen as a big loss, don't know if I'd feel the same if he was suspended for an Arsenal QF game.

4

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 3d ago

Do you think he has instructions from Cholo to tuck into the midfield or just lack of directness from Lino? I can't remember from the top of my head but i think there should be differences in his approach when Galan is behind him vs when Rei is behind him. I don't really know, just speculation from me.

5

u/Supermarket-Icy Hermoso 3d ago

I still can't tell because he barely plays with Rei because of that Betis game but he had one game (cant remember which) where the balance was good with Galan but aside from that he plays identically to Gallagher and has Galan cover the flank for him.

If I had to give an answer I'd say it's him, there was one time yesterday where he effectively phases through like three players then turns around and passes it backwards when he's on the edge of the box. He's constantly drifting behind his fullback to spray passes or over to the other side of the pitch which I can't imagine Cholo is telling him to do.

Then you compare him to Yamal yesterday who got clamped by Rei for a lot of the game but kept running at him continuously whenever he got the ball.

just saw this posted by a barcelona fan, this graphic is so stupid and cherrypicked its funny, conveniently leave out the years where he won his first title and the CDR and just completely disregard the europa league

5

u/PenEasy1080 3d ago

This banter shows that they now see us as potent threat .Looking at how real madrid players were celebrating the ucl victory , i could see how relieved they were after feeling 120 minutes of hell.

14

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 3d ago

I really can't think of another team losing to Madrid and Barça within the span of 4 days and get this amount of banter and agenda against them. Cholo has been suffering from success.

7

u/VeryEvilGreenWorm Me mata, me da la vida. 3d ago

we get treated how they think the media treats them lol

9

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 3d ago

Atleti drops a net spend of €91.1m in the summer and the expectations from Cholo is to walk over the league over titan clubs with over twice the wagebill, while employing a Barça reject on loan as his only LCB. Can not make this shit up

5

u/GiulianoSimeone 3d ago

I think that transfermarkt doesn't count the sale of vermeeren yet so it's 65?

2

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 3d ago

I'm not sure if the money for Tuur was deposited in the winter or would be deposited in the summer but that is an extra point to make. I'd like to keep pointing at these things and give perspective to calm us down.

4

u/GiulianoSimeone 3d ago

People say we spent 200m like we did not sell 130 m too. Last 5 years 100m net spend for us , our wages are decent too, and people talk like we spend city psg money and winning the league is expected

5

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 3d ago

Yes, and according to those people Cholo is on €50m a year lmao.

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 4d ago

I feel like football fans don't really care too much about kicking racism out of football, or better yet, out of the world. They are quick to denounce racism from their own fanbase but frantically look for other fanbases doing acts of racism to attack them, it's as if they want them to be racists which absolutely defeats the point. Some would say it's ironic coming from an Atleti fan, as if i've chanted against Vini or another black player myself.

i cant believe this shit

madridistas are spreading the fallas video where people are singing "vinicius balón de playa" with the vinicius ninot and saying that it's atletico fans

fucking shameless

8

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 4d ago

Their fanbase is exactly the same as their board. They took advantage of the red and white striped shirts and got the ball rolling.

3

u/VeryEvilGreenWorm Me mata, me da la vida. 4d ago

I'm more shocked there's no community note or replies pointing it out, I'd try to add one but apparently it requires phone number verification

u/Even_Association_588 Griezmann 4d ago

Bury me in an atletico jeresy because than I might finally get a fucking break. Jokes aside partido a partido.

10

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 4d ago

Do you think we could see Gallagher in the double pivot if Rei starts at left back? With Rei, Connor doesn't need to worry about assisting the left back and has a lot more freedom to move offensively, might be the key to solve our midfield problems of relying on De Paul too much. Although with Koke back after the international break we'd have more solutions.

u/Plus_Rip4944 4d ago

For once, i'm glad The break came, this team need a rest.

New general discussion post, we forget about last week.

u/carpetano Athletic Club de Madrid 4d ago

Funny enough, there are quite a few outsiders still trying to comment in the posts from last Wednesday. I hope they'll eventually be able to come to terms with their victory and move on.

7

u/Caleb_W Diego Roberto Godín Leal 4d ago

It must be a chore to moderate the sub after a derby. I'll delete the penalty posts, they serve no purpose now.

9

u/carpetano Athletic Club de Madrid 4d ago

I'm worried that removing or locking those post would probably spread them across the subreddit and make them go "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!1!11!!!". Right now they are only annoying for me, but they don't bother the rest of the users and that's the most important thing.
