There are still two weeks left until the Madrid derby, but some among the Real Madrid team are starting to warm up to it in advance. The white team was not happy at all about having won the league and having only lost against the red-white team. Real Madrid fans usually look down on the Colchoneros, and few things bother them more than losing against Diego Pablo Simeone's team.
One of those who never fails to warm up derbies is the former Real Madrid player, José María Gutiérrez "Guti". A regular on the programme El Chiringuito de Jugones and a pundit on DAZN, the man from Torrejón has had a field day against the Colchoneros. Guti has not forgotten the rivalry between the two teams and has landed a curious jab at the Argentine coach and his team.
At an event at the Mahou brewery, the former midfielder who trained at the Chamartín team fired heavy ammunition, once again, against those led by Enrique Cerezo Torres. "I hope Atleti makes it through. We always talk about Atleti as a candidate and, in the end, they are out by December. For LaLiga it is good that it happened like this; they do not have the consistency that Madrid and Barcelona have about always fighting for those titles," he indicated.
Bianchi did Not Want Him at Atleti
A little message from him, an unnecessary taunt that the former Real Madrid player did not hesitate to make whenever he could. Guti lives the Madrid rivalry like few others: he was trained at the Fábrica Blanca and lived the derbies intensely. Although he could have been a footballer for Atlético de Madrid, when his agent Zoran Vekjic reached an agreement with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín for Guti to join Atleti .
That summer was a turning point in Guti's career as a footballer, who did not end up at the club that Carlos Bianchi was coaching at the time. It was the Argentine coach himself who prevented the Torrejon native from changing sides. The Virrey[viceroy]wanted Juan Román Riquelme and rejected the arrival of the Real Madrid youth player, something that he could never forget.
He was Good at Calderón
Guti reminded them of his past in derbies, where "he came out the winner every time he went to the Calderón", amidst laughter and jokes in front of the former red-white players Mario Suárez and David Villa. "The Real Madrid fan doesn't like to lose against Atleti, Rayo, Getafe or Leganés," he explained. He praised the Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, with whom he admitted that "he would go for a beer, remembering a fight they had in a derby where they kicked him to death," he said.
The concerts are something to talk about and the former Real Madrid player regretted it: "We love concerts and I hope there are many in Madrid , it is a city that needs them. I am passionate about music, I love going to a concert. Wherever there is a concert, an Atleti-Rayo match is out of the question," he said with a laugh.
