"Lolololololo, lolololololo, Radamel Falcao", the old house of Atlético de Madrid, Vicente Calderón stadium, shuddered in 2011 and 2013, warning that Falcao García had scored another goal. The love story between mattress fans and the Colombian woman left three titles, 70 goals in 91 official matches and several unforgettable memories.
This Wednesday (12:55), the "Tiger" is reunited with his fans, this time in the metropolis Wanda, the new headquarters of "Aleti", but with the Monaco jersey, the fifth day of the group stage of the league of champions.
"It's always good to be able to go back to Atlético after a long time without doing it, the moments I've lived and the memories I'll always keep with me." reconnecting with all the fans and people working at the club generates a lot of enthusiasm, "said Falcao at the pre-game press conference.
And among all these good memories are the two titles of the League of Europe, be part of the ideal 11 of 2012 (considered the best 9 in the world), win the King's Cup at Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu, more than that magical night in which, with a pbad Falcao, Atlético was crowned champion of the European Supercup.
For all this, "Falcao will be honored during his first visit to Metropolitan Wanda," said the club Tuesday on its website. "The footballer, beloved of the rojiblanca fans, will receive a tribute in the prolegomena of the meeting organized by our entity on his return to Madrid."
Today more than ever, Radamel Falcao must be sorry to leave Atletico, even if he does not say it in his statements: "It was another reality, the club at that time could not retain the players, as was the case for Aguero, Forlán and others, it's done," he said yesterday. But, with the reality that is happening today in Monaco, it is hard to believe that the Colombian did not want to be in this club that gave him so much.
The Monegasque team is already eliminated from the Champions League, is in the relegation places of the Ligue de France, has been dismantled by almost all the players who managed to win the Ligue 1 in 2017, its president is in investigation course for bribery, active and pbadive influence traffic and complicity in these crimes, as well as the good intentions of Thierry Henry, his new DT, do not cover his lack of experience for lead.
At Atlético de Madrid, they think only of a victory that will guarantee them a place in the last 16 games of the Champions League. Rojiblanco's team is second in Group A, tied 9 points with leader Borussia Dortmund, followed by Belgium's Bruges (4) and Monaco (1).
A win would give Atletico a peace of mind, which could also secure the pbadport for the next phase if Bruges loses or shoots against Dortmund in the other key match. "Let's hope tomorrow we can have a good game, we have to be eighth tomorrow night," coach Diego Simeone told reporters on Tuesday.
The team of & # 39; Cholo & # 39; Participates in this meeting after failing on Saturday in his badault on the leadership of the Spanish League, unable to secure the 1-1 draw with Barcelona, but confident in his home strength. Of the 28 European matches played by Atletico Madrid in their stadium since "Cholo" took over the team in the winter of 2011, they lost only twice and won 21.
Atletico will still not be able to count for this meeting with the sensitive wounded of the Uruguayans Diego Godín and José María Giménez, who continue to recover from their respective muscle injuries, like Juanfran Torres.
Diego Costa, who was suffering from an embarrbadment of one foot and who was to be replaced during the match against Barcelona on Saturday, did not train on Tuesday and could leave his place to the Croatian Nikola Kalinic to accompany the French Antoine Griezmann. "It's a huge effort, it hurts," Simeone said of Costa.
For his part, Thierry Henry, DT of Monaco, said: "I will not tell you what we will do tomorrow (today), but it's not too difficult to imagine. Atletico, and they say that they only play against, but that's not true, they are still fighting each other for the other.
