The Atletico Madrid He has been on vacation since last Sunday, November 13. The mattress club will stop its sports activities until November 28, when footballers who do not play Qatar World Cup they are going back to work Thorn hill until club activity resumes.
Meanwhile, most of the attention of the mattress club and its fans is focused on the World Cup activity, where the Atletico Madrid It will once again be one of the clubs with the most presence in the tournament. As many as 11 rojiblancos players will defend their teams in the event.
In fact, with this brand of players, the Atletico Madrid has improved the club’s best historical participation in a World Cup. There are 11 rojiblancos to play Qatar 2022, two more numbers obtained by the club in the previous appointment, at Russia 2018. In fact, it can be said that Russia there are ten rojiblancos, because the signing of Lemar took place in full world although it is not official until July 1, also in full appointment.
The mattress entity may even extend the historical record, but this time, the players want Lemar, Angel belt either Matheus Cunhathey fell from the final list of their respective teams without being able to move out of the qualifying matches for the World Cup.
The players that Atlético will bring in Qatar are Koke, Llorente and Morata (Spain), Griezmann (France), Grbic (Croatia), Giménez (Uruguay), De Paul Y Nahuel Molina (France), Carrasco Y Witsel (Belgium); Y Joao Felix (Portugal).
They were at the previous World Cup event Coke, Saul Y Diego Costa (Spain); griezmann Y Lucas Hernandez (France) –Lemar signed the same summer, in full world-; Sime Vrsaljko (Croatia); Filipe Luis (Brazil); God Y Gimenez (Uruguay).
GROWING TREND
It is clear that the improvement of Atletico Madrid in terms of performance and presence in continental competitions, the fact of fighting for national titles raises the level of squads. This is something that can be easily observed in the presence of internationals. I have never had so many players playing for their national teams, like today.
A trend seen since Simeone took over the team. For example, in Russia the aforementioned ten players are; in Brazil 2014nine. Juanfran, Koke, Villa and Costa (Spain); Godin, Gimenez Y onion (Uruguay); Courtois and Alderweireld (Belgium).
In South Africa 2010 there are only four (Tiago, Simao, Forlán and Agüero); in Germany 2006 six; in Korea/Japan 2002 only one; in France 98, five; in US 94 two; in Italy 90, one; in Mexico 86 three… as you can see, the current stage is the most international of Athletic. Not obvious until bosman’s law it is more complicated to have internationals from other countries (there are only three foreign cards), but since it was established -1995-, the number of World Cup Athletic it is growing.
