Vitolo Machine He is one of those players who Atletico Madrid He is on loan this season. Few rojiblancos remember the Canarian soccer player, whose last match as a mattress player started on April 22, 2021, when he played four minutes in the victory against Huesca in Metropolitan.
With ongoing physical problems preventing him from playing regularly, Vitolo played last year on loan at Getafe and this one came home to try to redirect his career at the 32-year-old. However, the trend was the same when I was at Atlético. He hardly played at the Coliseum and in Gran Canaria he will go the same way.
But this weekend, Vitolo showed up again. Nine months after playing his last game. The canary has not played since January 9, when he had four minutes in the Azulones’ visit to Sánchez Pizjuán. Since then he has never stepped foot on the grass again in an official commitment.
García Pimienta introduced him to El Toralín in the 87th minute. “You don’t know how I am, I haven’t played for about a year and whatnot. Right now I’m super excited, it’s very important. I hope they continue to respect my injuries. If nothing goes wrong, we will have a good year,” he said on club radio after the clash that ended in yellow victory.
He was also happy to see his coach back on the pitch. “I am very happy for Vitolo, we are going in a planned process and taking small steps. Now he is back to being a footballer in a few minutes and little by little we will walk further”, said García Pimienta.
Contract until 2024
Vitolo will not return to Atlético, where he has a contract until 2024 (it was extended to pay his high record by several years) but he will continue to belong to the rojiblanco club. The player is very focused on Las Palmas, and his only wish is to leave behind the ordeal he went through and help his hometown team get promoted to the First Division.
