that’s surprising Pablo Barrios did not have a minute in the match that the Atletico Madrid played and won against Valladolid on Saturday at the Metropolitano with goals from Morata, Griezmann and Hermoso.
The youth squad player, a substitute at Almería, started at the Ciutat de Valencia but stayed in the locker room at half-time, paying the piper for a disastrous first half. Yesterday he was a substitute, and from the bench he saw the rojiblanco team’s convincing victory.
The fact of not playing can lead one to think that the midfielder is available to Luis Garcia Tevenet for Atlético B’s commitment this Sunday afternoon against Gimnástica Segoviana in Majadahonda. But not.
Because for practical (not contractual) purposes, Pablo Barrios is currently another player in the first team. He is fully installed in the dynamics of the group and unless plans change, he will not return to the subsidiary beyond a certain moment (hypothetical promotion phase in the First RFEF) or because Simeone decides otherwise.
The other teammates called up to the first team against Valladolid played in the subsidiary, even as part of the starting eleven, cases of Sergio Díez or Marco Moreno. But not Pablo Barrios, who is already with him as a first-team footballer.
