Atlético de Madrid has recently learned of the existence of a British club that displays the colours of the red-and-white club, as well as its old and controversial crest. The team has nothing to do with that of Simeone 's men or with the history of Atlético in general, although it has been created as a tribute to it. Recycling its old and controversial crest, which many nicknamed "the logo", from England they seem to have adopted the love of Atlético, reincarnating it in one of the clubs from the British region.
Despite the fact that their leaders are aware of the striking project, Atlético de Madrid fans seem to have found this year a curious branch of the team's followers. Athletic Newham has become a real discovery for the red-and-white faithful, who are extremely excited about the idea of being able to export the red-and-white culture. Pending seeing some important triumph of the team from Spain , Newham is playing today for its permanence in the FA Cup , one of the crucial competitions in English football.
Amersham Town vs Athletic Newham
From 20:30 , British football fans will be able to follow the match between Amersham and Athletic . In these qualifying rounds for the FA Cup , any mistake can be fatal for the future of the team that makes it, even more so when they are inferior in terms of quality. Given that Newham is a humble and hard-working club, it is very praiseworthy and an added cause to support its players so that they fight for important things.
Placed in the ninth tier of British football, the English counterpart of Atlético de Madrid has a much lower status than its team to follow, that of Diego Pablo Simeone . The Anglo-Saxons have a regional level of football, with which they hope to compete in a historic tournament such as the FA Cup . Willing to honour the motto of "Believe until you win" , the red-and-whites will fight today to stay alive in the cup competition.
Glory is achieved by fighting
If it is already difficult to face the important teams of the country and the old continent, it is even more so when you are a humble team, as in this case. Newham has only nine years of history and has always played in the lower categories of English football. Trying to pay homage, as far as possible, to their beloved Atlético de Madrid , the boys from Newham will go out tonight with everything they have to go for the win.
Fanaticism in the veins
The club's president was such a big fan of Atlético that he couldn't wait to change the name of his club, as well as the crest. The British adopted the repudiated logo that the club wore on its shirts until last year and implanted it in its culture and identity at the beginning of the season. With the sole objective of continuing to honour the colours of Atlético de Madrid for the United Kingdom , Athletic Newham has today a test of fire for its recent history.
