Koke, Oblak And Belt They will very soon be accompanied by Antoine Griezmann, i.e. 14 official matches away from reaching tenth place on the list, Juan Carlos Arteche.
Never before has a similar case occurred, which demonstrates the stability and the project which began in January 2012 with the arrival of Simeone on the Atlético bench. Koke was already there and Oblak, Griezmann and Correa joined later in 2014, although the Argentinian took another year to start playing since the protocol medical examination detected a heart condition for which he had to undergo surgery in New York, and that. forced him to quit for six monthsso technically their debut was in the summer of 2015, a year later.
koke He arrives at the break consolidated as the player with the most official matches in the history of Atlético de Madrid, with 655, 102 more than Adelardo Rodríguez. The Vallecano midfielder, who turns 33 in January, is poised to be the first red and white footballer to total 700 injuries with his shirt, a step that no one has climbed and which will hardly be within anyone’s reach in the decades to come.
Oblak He is already fifth in the ranking, with 462 matches, and is getting very close to Enrique necklace, just eight hours away. The Slovenian goalkeeper will finish the season in third position, as he will also surpass Tomas Reñones (483) and if he continues at Atlético next season, he will exceed the limit of 500 games, getting closer Adelardo Rodriguez.
Beltalthough he never enjoyed the status of uncontested owner, He has earned the right to be Atlético Madrid history. He is seventh in the standings, with 438 matches, 18 behind Carlos Aguilera. The Argentine’s case is worth looking into due to his contribution to the team, mostly as a substitute. He already has 83 goals and 54 assists.
Griezmann This is the fourth in the running. just exceeded Fernando Torres and he is directly aiming for the top ten, of which only 14 games separate him since his target is Juan Carlos Arteche, with 421. The Frenchman, top scorer in club history with 185 goalsalso surpassed 500 League appearances. Another living Atlético legend who of course would be much higher if he hadn’t gone to Barcelona for two seasons.
Koke, Oblak, Correa and Griezmann coincided together and stayed long enough to become legends, even if none are as great as Diego Pablo Simeonewho next weekend against Alavés will achieve no less than 700 consecutive matches on the bench of Atlético de Madrid, an unimaginable figure that it is very likely that no one will ever be able to equal.
