After a good start to the season, Atlético de Madrid is in good shape. After keeping a clean sheet against Valencia , Diego Pablo Simeone 's team has now earned 11 points in the domestic competition. These figures give hope to their fans as they continue cheering on their team.
This summer, the Metropolitano has made some big moves to grow significantly. The arrivals of players such as Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth stand out above the rest. However, we must not forget that other 'cracks' have also played throughout its history.
A former Atlético de Madrid player talks about a world-class star
In the last few hours, Mario Suárez , who was a pillar for Diego Pablo Simeone, has been clear about his preferences. When asked about who he would like to see in LaLiga, the former Atletico midfielder was blunt. “ Rodri is the best in the world in his position, he makes the difference.”
It is not a bad taste that he was also a player for Valencia or Rayo Vallecano , with great experience in Spain . The former Atlético de Madrid player has become, under the guidance of Pep Guardiola , a 'top' player in the elite. In this way, it could be a reason for hope that he would like to return in the future, despite the interest of Real Madrid .
Mario Suárez talks about the differences between the Vicente Calderón and the Metropolitano
On the other hand, one of the issues he reviewed during his appearance before the media was the difference between the two stadiums. All Atlético de Madrid fans miss the Vicente Calderón , which was their home until 2017. Although the Metropolitano has improved in terms of atmosphere, he is clear about that.
"The nights I have been able to experience at the Vicente Calderón I have not experienced at the Metropolitano . I have not played at home, but I have as a visitor. Now I am going as a member."
“I think that, to recover that mystique, if we get there, we need magical nights that we haven't experienced yet. What was experienced at the Calderón is not felt at the Metropolitano and magical nights are missing.” Thus, Mario Suárez , who knows what it is like to play in both stadiums, could not have been more forceful on the subject.
Atlético de Madrid to continue progressing in LaLiga EA Sports
Meanwhile, Diego Pablo Simeone 's team is clear about what it must do to make its fans dream. Atlético de Madrid has barely conceded any goals this season and has improved greatly in defence. Thanks to this, it is starting to look like that uncomfortable and rocky team that bothered the big teams.
These, along with their offensive power, which is beyond all doubt, are some of the keys to their good start. They know that this season is their great opportunity to redeem themselves, so they cannot afford to let their guard down. Only in this way will Atlético de Madrid be able to return to the elite of the Old Continent .
