Good afternoon everyone. We start with the live narration of the match Getafe – Atlético de Madrid corresponding to day 1 of the Santander League. An exciting season begins for azulones and rojiblancos with a demanding derby that will serve to measure the level of both teams.
Getafe has been one of the teams that has been better reinforced so far in the summer market, incorporating players with a lot of experience such as Domingos Duarte, Portu, Milla, Angeleri, Seoane or Borja Mayoral into their ranks. The striker played last season at Getafe on loan and now he does so as a full-fledged player, after the club paid Real Madrid 10 million to keep him as their property.
With the effort made by Ángel Torres, the goals of the team coached by Quique Sánchez Flores they must necessarily be more ambitious than the mere struggle for permanence. For this he needs to start much better than he did last season, in which he lost the first seven games. For today’s game, the coach has Milla and Damián out due to injury.
Atlético de Madrid starts as a candidate to fight for the League title to the two giants of the League: Barcelona and Real Madrid. Cholo Simeone’s team arrives at this start of the season with the good feelings that he has left in the four preseason games that he has played. He won all friendly and proved to be a very solid team in defense and forceful in attack. Atlético has been reinforced with players like Nahuel Molina, Witsel as well as the return of players like Morata, Saúl or Grbic.
The Argentine coach has the casualties of José María Giménez and Felipe for this match. The Uruguayan suffers from severe tonsil pain, while the Brazilian has been dragging knee problems since the start of preseason. The casualties of the two centrals have forced Cholo to summon the youth squad Marcos Moreno.
The match starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez of Getafe with the arbitration of the Murcian collegiate Sánchez Martínez. He will be assisted from the VAR by Estrada Fernández.
