Koke, more than 600 reasons to renew

Coke Resurrection He left for the league break due to national team commitments without receiving a call from Luis de la Fuente but as one of the best football players not only in Atlético de Madrid, but in the championship.

The captain was chosen by the fans as the best player of the Colchonero team in the month of October and in November he followed the same path. This is proof of the master class he offered on the last day of the league, last Sunday against Villarreal in Cívitas Metropolitano. A superb performance, leading statistics in both attack and defense and being central to Atlético’s comeback.

“I think I am in a very sweet moment in my career. I hope I can continue to help the team win games, which is ultimately what I want the most. I’m one step away from 600 games (he has accumulated 599 ) and it’s something amazing. I’m proud and thankful to all the people behind me who support me. I don’t think about what’s left of me, I think about winning titles and that’s the first step, winning the next game to reach our goals,” the midfielder said recently.

because Next Saturday, November 25, against Mallorca, Koke will reach 600 games with Atlético de Madrid. A figure that no other player has reached, something that is obvious considering that the youth player is the player who has played the most matches in the entire history of the mattress club.

And all this with his future somewhat up in the air. Because Koke’s contract expires on June 30 with the team of his life and there is still no agreement to renew it. Hopefully there won’t be any problems, as all parties have the same intentions, but for now there is no ‘red and white smoke’. And that creates a certain uncertainty, there is also a fan who wants to continue to see their captain at Atlético.

THE FANS ARE CLEAR

This can be seen, in addition to the opinion expressed in the stadium or on social networks, from the survey proposed by MD, with a clear question: Do you think Atlético should renew Koke? And the results could not be more evident. Because almost 95% of participants consider it yes, without nuances. 3% are betting on waiting for the end of the season and the other 2% on not extending their relationship with the Madrid entity.

As we say, it is expected that soon the club will meet with the player to deliver a proposal that goes down, as happened last year in Griezmann or just a few days ago with Diego Simeone.

FUNDAMENTAL FOR SIMEONE

Koke will turn 32 in January, but today he remains a key player for Atlético and its coach. He Cholo He considers her important to his plans and has no problem recognizing her in public whenever he gets the chance. In fact, he did so as soon as he signed for the club in December 2011. At the time, several teams requested a loan from the player, who was only 19 years old at the time. But the Argentine coach spoke to him to encourage him to stay. “From the first day he gave me confidence because I didn’t play much. He told me that he will be a very important player within the club. “He believed in me and I in him,” Vallecano pointed out.

Time has proven both correct. And he must continue to give it if there is no problem and Koke renews at Atlético de Madrid, as the club, the coach, the fans and the footballer himself want, who aspires to be a ‘one club man’. ‘ of the mattress entity, which he joined as a child and now wants to retire.
