00:00Thank you, Parisians. Uncle Nasser, thank you for Lee Kangin, because damn, he's too good. But I'll get to that later.
00:04Let's talk about it again.
00:05Atletico Madrid win, starting from scratch against Malaga, who are newly promoted, I remind you, so we're going to
00:09Don't get too carried away.
00:10But there were two things that I quite liked.
00:12The first thing is that in the first half, we saw lots of babies, we saw lots of
00:15substitutes play with Atletico Madrid.
00:17Little Arnau Ortiz, who's taken over the number 16 jersey after his friendly matches, well, he's doing rather well.
00:21Good match, he created three chances.
00:23Dani Martinez, on the left, was extremely interesting, both defensively and offensively, right?
00:28He attempted 8 dribbles, he succeeded at 4, though.
00:30He was quite active, he touched the ball 88 times; only David Onko touched it.
00:33more balls than him.
00:34And most importantly, he was the only young player to play 90 minutes.
00:37So, I don't know the availability status of Alejandro Grimaldos, whether he could play or not.
00:42'Was he ready or not?'
00:43But it's still a signal worth noting.
00:44So, even if Alejandro Grimaldos is the starting left-back this season, well, if his level drops a little,
00:50that he's not up to standard, or that he's injured, or whatever,
00:52Well, I think Dani Martinez could be an interesting solution.
00:55And above all, we have Jorge Domínguez, whom I don't know by many people, except as an Atletico Madrid supporter.
00:59know.
01:00He's only 16, and today, well, maybe we saw a little bit anyway
01:03the limits.
01:03He played some pretty interesting matches, so yes, he had some tough games in friendlies, because we have
01:07It still played even when you're a very big club.
01:08But it was still quite complicated for his first La Liga match; he could have conceded a
01:11He was very close to getting a red card, by the way.
01:14But anyway, we need to loan him to a La Liga club, or even to a La Liga club
01:172, that he progresses it calmly.
01:18I think that he will be an important player for Atletico Madrid in the coming years.
01:22Incidentally, fun little fact: when Domínguez was born, Koke was already playing for Atletico de Madrid.
01:27There you go, I'm just putting this here, do what you want with the information.
01:30So, overall, this first half, well, it wasn't perhaps very polished, none of them...
01:34It wasn't very dangerous this time.
01:35But I still saw some interesting circuits.
01:37Naturally, there were plenty of substitutes, plenty of young players; it was a team that was still finding its feet a little bit.
01:41We weren't exactly well-rehearsed.
01:42We should thank Black for his double save, which was very important, some big saves, thank you very much.
01:46But less individually, whether in friendlies or that first La Liga match, I saw some
01:50good things from them.
01:51However, well, when Marco Surente, Lee Kangin, Giuliano Simeone and Alex Baena came back, well, there you go.
01:57We can see why some players are substitutes, and some players are not, right?
02:00First of all, Lee Kangin, but damn, what a golazo, 13 minutes into the game, there you go.
02:03He came on, so yeah, he already knows La Liga and stuff, but still, 13 minutes of play, the guy
02:07He takes the ball, he comes back into position, he curls it.
02:10It looked so simple from behind the screen, but it's actually phenomenal.
02:13And frankly, I'm not even necessarily a fan of leaving it on the right.
02:16For me, we need to refocus it, we need to give it the keys to the game, we need to
02:20that he be given responsibilities,
02:21because he's a player who, technically, is above average, and who, in difficult matches,
02:25can individually produce bangers for you.
02:27And Alex Baena, well, you actually deserve an apology.
02:29So yes, his first season at Atletico Madrid was complicated, we're not going to reinvent history,
02:33But there you have it.
02:34He's having an exceptional World Cup with La Roja this summer, and now he's full of confidence.
02:38Paf, first match with Atletico de Madrid, a header right into the top corner.
02:41Ah, excuse us, bro.
02:42But beyond that, in the game itself, it was really interesting.
02:44So I hope that for this season 2, we will see the return of the young prodigies from Villarreal.
02:48I can't wait.
02:49I really enjoyed Pablo Barrios' match.
02:51The entry into the world is the same, that's promising.
02:53Now I'm looking forward to next week, we're playing against Villarreal, and I'll be right there to see what happens.
02:57this match.
