Atlético de Madrid were able to count on Conor Gallagher, the new signing for Atlético, to train this morning. The English midfielder landed in the Spanish capital last night and today he has already been put under Simeone's orders for the first time. This evening, starting at 9:00 pm, the player will be presented at the Metropolitano together with the rest of the new signings and in front of the expectation of the fans.
It has not been an easy signing , as the fact that he was directly linked to a sale delayed his arrival for several days. Now, Simeone brings in a true all-rounder for the midfield who will force other players to step up . His debut could take place this weekend in the match that Atlético de Madrid will have to play against Girona.
Conor Gallagher trains in Majadahonda
As everyone knows, this is not the first time that the English international has trained on the Cerro del Espino pitch this summer. A few days ago, Conor Gallagher trained with a small group of first team players in Majadahonda . However, he had to return to London while Atlético de Madrid opened new negotiations with Chelsea .
Today has been his most special day, as he has been able to complete training with the rest of the squad and under the watchful eye of Simeone . The Englishman has left a very good impression on the red-and-white team, especially thanks to his intensity in the exercises. The red-and-white team, through numerous publications, had unofficially announced the incorporation of Conor Gallagher .
Yesterday, Esto es Atleti published the first image of the player at Barajas airport after arriving from London . In addition, Conor Gallagher had his first words for Simeone once he arrived at the hotel where he spent the night. "Of course, I can't wait, I can't wait, I'm very excited," he told El Chiringuito about training under Simeone .
Problems for Rodrigo de Paul
If there is one midfielder who is singled out after the arrival of Conor Gallagher it is the Argentine, especially after his form against Villarreal. Most of the criticism after the draw against the yellow submarine fell on Rodrigo de Paul , who played the second half. Many Atlético fans criticised his lack of commitment on the pitch, leaving bad feelings .
Rodrigo de Paul made numerous bad passes in the midfield, as well as failing to help in the defensive tasks. This is a season in which the world champions will have to take a step forward if they want to put an end to all these comments. Conor Gallagher arrives from the Premier League and his latest statistics show that he arrives at Atlético de Madrid to be a starter.
