Absolute indignation is being experienced at Atlético de Madrid after learning the latest schedules from LaLiga. Just like last season, the organisation seems to have decided to disadvantage the red-and-white team when it comes to designating the times of their matches. In addition, in view of the next derby, Real Madrid has clearly benefited from having much more rest.
Atlético de Madrid has been suffering from the 9pm kick-off time for several seasons, especially on Sundays. The club from Madrid has already decided to lodge a complaint with LaLiga after learning the times of the next three games. On one occasion, Simeone has sent messages from the press conference when this situation has occurred.
New attack on Atlético de Madrid
It seems that LaLiga has long since made the decision to harm the interests of the red-and-white team in any way possible. The latest controversy has to do with the publication of the schedule for the three days following the clash against Valencia . They all have something in common and that is that the colchoneros must play all those matches at 21:00 .
Fans have been raising their voices for some time now, as this is not an acceptable time for families. This situation was already experienced last season, with numerous matches being played at night. However, this time there is another negative point and it has to do with the match against Real Madrid on 29 September.
The Merengues will play this match at the Metropolitano with 48 hours more rest than Atlético de Madrid . This situation occurs because the red-and-whites play on Thursday in Vigo and their neighbours will do so on the previous Tuesday. Therefore, the decision has already been made from the offices to lodge a complaint with LaLiga regarding this situation.
Gil Marin, a key piece
It is important to remember that the CEO of Atlético de Madrid still holds the position of vice-president of the organisation during this season. Therefore, although it is almost impossible for the schedules to be modified, everything points to the fact that this complaint will reach the top of LaLiga . On numerous occasions, Gil Marín himself has come out publicly to point out injustices such as those experienced in the refereeing aspect .
Televisions have a lot to do with, if not everything, when it comes to setting the schedules for the different rounds of the championship. However, this decision is too damaging for Atlético de Madrid in one of the most important matches of the season. The next challenge will be Valencia, but the colchoneros are already starting to get tired of the systematic mistreatment in Spanish football .
