The dreaded ‘FIFA Virus’ is already flying over the Metropolitano once more, and it does so when there’s nonetheless half of the steep street to journey. Diego Pablo Simeone and his teaching workers look intently on the bodily put on and tear of the fourteen pink and white gamers referred to as up by their international locations. To this point, and within the absence of the second set of matches that will probably be performed between right this moment and subsequent Wednesday, the celebrities of Atlético de Madrid have gathered a minimum of 767 minutes of play. A greater than appreciable determine that, added to the primary and undesirable last-minute unexpected occasions, forces us to readjust plans for the approaching return of the membership competitors.
The nice worldwide novelty of the previous few hours has a reputation and surname: Dávid Hancko. The tireless Slovakian defender accomplished the 90 minutes in his first match, however has already launched into his return journey to the capital of Spain. The reason being as bitter on a private stage as it’s definitive: his staff has been eradicated from the race to be within the subsequent World Cup. His early return represents, not less than, a small bodily reduction for ‘Cholo’, who has additionally seen how Marcos Llorente with Spain and Ademola Lookman with Nigeria accomplished the whole thing of their respective first rounds (90′).
One step beneath when it comes to match fatigue are key props similar to Álex Baena (76′), the inventive Thiago Almada (75′) and José María Giménez (75′).

In the meantime, the lads who’re resting in Majadahonda or ready for his or her alternative, similar to Koke, Antoine Griezmann, Robin Le Normand, Ruggeri or Clément Lenglet, are getting ready to take a significant step ahead to keep up the aggressive stage. The clock is ticking and Simeone is already designing a contingency plan.
