Further and further away

With the season already over and with half the world with its eyes on the World Cup, Atlético has once again made it clear in recent days that it is increasingly further away from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The rojiblancos have used their social networks to defend their interests and have not hesitated to use irony to show their discomfort with the two giants of Spanish football. The red and whites have said enough.

If a few days ago it was Barcelona and its entourage that were highlighted on the red and white social networks for the whole Julián affair, this week it was Real Madrid’s turn. The white club’s statement to inform about the offer made by the Spider It left the Metropolitan offices with a feeling of disbelief.

The club chaired by Florentino Pérez spoke “of the good relations between both clubs” when the relationship between the two is barely non-existent. Just Enrique Cerezo maintains a cordial relationship with the white president.

Relations between both clubs have become increasingly distant in recent years. Something that has also happened with Barcelona.

The possible offers for Julián from both Barcelona and Real Madrid have had his forceful response from the rojiblanco club on their social networks. But before reaching this point, the situation had already become tense.

With the Catalan club, the double confrontation in the playoffs this year has meant great wear and tear. After the red and white victory in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Barça tried to undervalue the victory. First with referee complaints and then with messages from the culé environment pointing out Atlético as an inferior team from which it was easy to overcome.

A season of tension

Atlético no longer only competes with Madrid and Barcelona on the field, now they also do so off it.

After the Cup came to the Champions League quarterfinals where the red and white victory at the Camp Nou was also belittled to the point that players like Musso or Giuliano They felt cornered in a mixed zone by the press that follows the news of the culé team.

In the return match the controversy over the grass also served as a measure of pressure. In between, there was not a day that a possible transfer of Julián to Barça from Barcelona was not fueled.. All this, in the middle of a Champions League tie.

In the league clash, the non-expulsion of Gerard Martín also brought with it controversy on social networks. Atlético, on that occasion after expressing their complaint, received the “support” of the CTA, agreeing with their protest.

Some networks in which Atlético has also been very active against Real Madrid. The response to the Julián case is joined by several messages against the pressure that, according to the rojiblanco club itself, Madrid exercises from its television to the referee group.

Atlético has positioned itself against the whites, making it clear that the confrontation is evident. But Atlético has not only complained about the “machinery” that surrounds the white club. There are many issues that have confronted Atlético and Real Madrid in recent timesfrom the Super League to the breaking of the pact between quarries.

Hunting at the Academy

Those from the Metropolitano launched a final message on the networks after the “offer” to Julián in which they asked Real Madrid to:

“Taking advantage of the good relationship with your new president, let’s see if you stop ‘stealing’ players from our Academy.”

A message in reference to the situation that has been experienced in recent years in which Madrid has tried to take several red and white youth players.

Many open fronts from the Metropolitano but a clear sign that the rojiblancos do not pay homage to the two giants of our football. The change in mattress dynamics on social networks is a clear sign that Atlético de Madrid has marked its path without looking at the interests of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and focusing on defending what is theirs.
