It is logical that Atlético de Madrid will protest the date set for the first leg of the Cup semi-final considering that they will now face Real Madrid while Athletic played on Friday against Mallorca. Marcelino, as a red and white coach, also did the same on the occasion of the match, also in the semis, against Valencia for the same reason. The organizers of ‘the Mola Cup’, what has been seen, do not learn.
What is unacceptable is the argument that Simeone used to protest the fact that his team will have less rest days. Basing the complaint on the fact that “it’s not that the Federation doesn’t respect Atlético de Madrid, but it doesn’t respect the fans” is sad. Pure demagoguery.
The average fan has not given a damn for a long time about the Federation and almost all the organizations associated with what is now called the ‘football industry’. Not only the fans of the Colchonero team, but the fans of Athletic, Barça, Valencia, Girona and any other club.
It’s funny that Cholo, who respects the fans and always calls Athletic Bilbao, not just on this occasion, now comes out here when the Super Cup, for example, has been played for many years in Saudi Arabia. Simeone warmed up.
