Atlético de Madrid had a brilliant night last Wednesday at the event where they presented the latest signings for the red and white team . The new additions, both from the men's and women's teams, set foot in the Metropolitano for the first time in front of all their fans. There were more than 30,000 people to welcome Conor Gallagher, Julián Alvarez, Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sorloth, Lunay, Gio Quieroz, Rosa Otermin...
All of this in a presentation ceremony that had never been seen before at the Atlético de Madrid stadium. The occasion deserved it, as the club had made a significant investment in both teams that deserved to be received in this way. However, among all the new players that were appearing, there was one that raised special hope, Conor Gallagher .
The English footballer had only been officially a player for Atlético de Madrid for a few hours. The club had announced it at midday, after having seen him training in the morning session on Wednesday. In this way, it was confirmed that Conor Gallagher was going to be at the presentation night, and so it was.
A presentation at its height
The event was a real party that left no one indifferent. Each player had a presentation tailored to their personality and football profile, and Conor Gallagher was not going to be any different. The England midfielder was given a ride on two Harley Davidson motorcycles as he stepped onto the Metropolitano for the first time.
Although the stadium was filled with people after seeing him on the pitch, the highlight was seeing him wearing the Atlético de Madrid shirt with the number 4 on his back. Something that we at EstoesAtleti confirmed on social media, and which cleared up any doubts when we saw Conor Gallagher heading to the centre of the pitch with the 'speakers'. It was there, in front of the microphones, where he was able to make his first words despite his difficulties with the language.
It was short, concise, simple and direct, but they delighted the fans at the Metropolitano . “Hi, I don't speak much Spanish, I'm very happy, Go Atleti!” A few words that served to win over a fan base that is crazy to see the 'Pitbull' under the orders of Diego Pablo Simeone.
I also raised my fists several times in a sign of victory and happiness. And it's no wonder, because the month of August that Conor Gallagher had to live through has been very complicated with the problems caused by Chelsea FC and Samu Omorodion . Whatever the case, the important thing is that the 24-year-old player is where he wants to be, and the Atlético de Madrid stadium is crazy to see him next Sunday.
It will be there, against Girona in the second matchday of LaLiga , where Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sorloth, Julián Alvarez and Conor Gallagher will really feel their fans. A great opportunity to give the fans something to cheer about after the draw in Villarreal that left many people cold.
