During the Welcome Night he was one of the main attractions of the event . His entrance into the Metropolitan after the entrance of four bikers was quite a spectacle for the attendees and spectators of the event. Everyone loved him and in the end he arrived.
The footballer was delighted to hear his famous Chelsea chant when he arrived at Atlético de Madrid. His first words in Spanish, with an accent more Andalusian than Ivan Rakitic , turned the stadium upside down. Everyone wants to see him this Sunday against Girona, but first we will be able to hear his first words.
The presentation ceremony begins
Conor Gallagher will be presented at 12:30 in the auditorium of the Metropolitano and in front of the media. The English midfielder was already able to meet his new fans on the pitch of the red-and-white home ground this week. However, the traditional press conference where he will be presented with his new shirt with the number 4 was still to come.
Conor Gallagher's signing has been one of the strangest at Atlético de Madrid , with numerous setbacks. He trained in Majadahonda with a small group of teammates, but was forced to return to London shortly after. Now settled in the Colchonero team, it is expected that he will be registered in LaLiga and could make his debut this Sunday.
Conor Gallagher is waiting for his chance
The former Chelsea player has been a surprising signing for many Atlético Madrid fans this summer. The favourite was Mikel Merino , who showed some doubts about the project and preferred to leave for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. As a result, Conor Gallagher began to gain more importance and ended up being the choice of the sporting management.
Simeone has been calling for a quality reinforcement for the midfield for years, especially to help Koke in defence . It is true that Conor Gallagher is not the central midfielder that is so desired, but his physicality will be of great help. The English international was one of the most outstanding in the Premier League last season in the defensive and offensive aspects.
The player's debut could take place this weekend against Girona, if he is registered in LaLiga these days. For now, it is not expected that he could be a starter in Simeone's plans, but many are confident that he will be important. His great ally is César Azpilicueta , his main support to integrate into the team and understand all the exercises.
