Atlético Madrid - Always the Bridesmaid?

The old adage of always the bridesmaid and never the bride is not really appropriate. Atletico Madrid, after all, won the Spanish league five times in the past 50 years, the Copa del Rey on nine occasions, the old European Cup Winners Cup '(also a finalist twice) and even reached European Cup final in 1974. Neither is appropriate because, in recent years, Atletico has been the bridesmaid. As the most beautiful, everyone likes frivolous girl, but not as a bridesmaid because I knew she would only do something really stupid to screw it up come the big day. You see, every season, patience, and truly loyal fans have to see a team that shows the stunning brilliance of a week and then continued to give the impression of not really knowing what to do on the football field out there. Incoherent is too kind a word to the dear old mattress - the mattress makers for you and me.Most England fans probably associated with Atletico Madrid, with three very different names - Fernando Torres, Jesus Gil and Ron Atkinson, a genius, a cheat and can fill the last! Fernando Torres, of course, was athletic for long. The clubs youngest player in the league, top scorer and captain was more than a talisman for fans and the team, is evidence that athletes have been a force in the country. Even now, after becoming a star in the world to Liverpool, says he hopes someday to return to his beloved team in Madrid. In fact, after helping Real Madrid humiliated Towers League Champions last season, said they hope the fans enjoyed as much as Atletico had! Jesus Gil is remembered for very different reasons. The mayor of Marbella and the owner / president of Atletico, Gil kept the club in some way the economic security for years - and, for the most part, stayed out of jail too. Maggiore, literally life character, Gil just know all the tricks in the book - who knew anyone who did not dare to! And Ron Atkinson? Well, he was one of 16 different bus operators Gil - lasting only three months after leaving his job at West Bromwich Albion to move to Spain. At least, probably has a very real then! So now the fans of the Madrid team hope the new season with more than a bit of fear. "Diego Forlan, as marginal figure at Manchester United, has had five fabulous seasons in Spain - Sharp, inventive and author of 102 goals in 175 league games. Playing with Sergio Aguero (Maradona's son-in-law), this was probably the best striker in the country of Twins Association. Throughout the summer, speculation has been going on in the two players to complete their football game in 2009/10. Atlético fans are sometimes referred to as LasPupas rude, the cry of children. If one of these two players end up leaving, then the authors will take over again, with good reason things. As stand, signed the club Betis exceptionally promising full back Juan and are heading towards the play-off round of the Champions League - courtesy of the late surge in fourth place last season Liga.If can keep their stars in attack , maybe this year, finally, the supporters of Club Atletico Madrid finally can be mounted to a wedding.
