Robin Le Normand is now a new Atlético de Madrid player, making this one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer for Atlético de Madrid and one of the most exciting. Le Normand is a LaLiga veteran, a player who has played for several seasons at Real Sociedad and who knows the competition first-hand, although he now takes on another challenge. His official presentation with Atlético took place this morning at the Cívitas Metropolitano, where Robin was accompanied by his family and friends and gave his first statements.
In these statements, Le Normand was asked, precisely by our media, Esto es Atleti , about what he thinks of Simeone and his playing systems, especially at a defensive level. In his response, Robin has not hidden his admiration for the Argentine coach, whom he considers "a legend" and has admitted to being "looking forward to playing under his orders" soon. With this and other details from the good Le Normand in his presentation, his statements have been heard by all the red-and-white parishioners from their homes and telephones.
Le Normand's words at his presentation
As expected, Robin began his speech by thanking his family, friends and the club for having placed their full confidence in him. Le Normand said he was "excited" about the challenge and the project and promises to "give everything" for the team and its fans, trying to keep Simeone happy as well. Precisely for the Argentine, Le Normand dedicated some very heartfelt words, praising the work he has been doing all these years with Atlético de Madrid and showing his deep admiration.
Le Normand believes that under Simeone he can fully exploit those qualities as a powerful centre-back that he has already demonstrated with Real Sociedad and the Spanish national team . Simeone is known for getting the most out of his players and Le Normand will be no exception, especially because he is one of those defenders that Cholo is madly in love with. With high demands in each training session, as well as in matches, the Spaniard knows that he has to give 110% if he wants to cling on to a starting place at Atlético .
Competitive gene
Le Normand is one of those players who can't stand losing and who gives his all on the pitch to ensure that his team does well and achieves its objectives. Demonstrating this dedication under the orders of Imanol and De La Fuente , Robin doesn't plan on giving up in an attempt to win over a tremendously demanding coach. With Simeone at the helm, everything will go smoothly for him and he could become the elite centre-back he has aspired to be since the beginning of his career.
A tandem that works
And just like with other great defenders in the recent history of Atlético de Madrid , Simeone wants to work his magic again with Le Normand . The footballer is made to play with the Argentine, who is enthusiastic about this type of player and who can get a lot out of them during the coming season. With the first obstacle on the horizon, Le Normand will make his debut in an official match against Villarreal on a day that he will surely never forget in his professional career.
