Atlético de Madrid has strengthened its squad this summer in all areas of the pitch in order to form a team that lives up to its greatness. To do so, it has spent a considerable amount of money, an effort that was necessary to finally have a competitive squad. With Diego Pablo Simeone at his disposal, he is brimming with quality and determination, and Cholo hopes to be able to return Atlético de Madrid to the top of Spain and Europe.
One of the areas that has been strengthened in this transfer market has been the depleted defence of the Atlético team, which was very vulnerable last year. The great defensive addition for Atlético has been, without a doubt, the arrival of Robin Le Normand , European Champion and vital to Real Sociedad in recent seasons. Contrary to what usually happens with many new signings, Le Normand has become a regular in the plans of a Simeone who has not yet replaced him.
Robin Le Normand, new head of Atlético
Le Normand has started the season at an astronomical level in an Atlético that has kept three consecutive clean sheets and in which he has played 100% of the minutes. The new Atlético signing was forced to play on the left in the opening match against Villarreal , where he has not played again in the following matches. Now on the right, Le Normand has found his usual game and has meant a huge leap in quality for the Atlético defence that has been in disarray.
The Spanish international is a great player when passing balls and is almost unbeatable from above, as he has shown against Girona, Espanyol and Athletic . Against the Basques, Le Normand won five aerial duels, to which must be added his incredible precision and expeditious ease in stealing the ball. Having played all the games with the red and whites, this being a statistic that only he has, Le Normand is an undisputed player for Diego Pablo Simeone .
Cholo School
The recent winner of the European Championship was crazy to join Simeone , who he knows he can learn a lot from as his pupil. Le Normand has been in love with Atlético de Madrid and its new coach for some time and pushed for the signing to take place this very market. Having been with the team for just over a month now, Le Normand knows Atlético is his home and wants to return that affection to all those who are part of the club.
In love with Atleti
His performance at the start of the LaLiga campaign has been of an astronomical level, showing how comfortable and happy he is at a club that has been betting on him from the start. The new Atlético defender received the support of the fans from the first minute , fans who are delighted with his signing and who admire his dedication every time he puts on the Atlético de Madrid shirt. With the aim of achieving important victories with Atlético de Madrid , Le Normand wants to continue demonstrating this level at the Metropolitano and be a regular in Simeone 's plans.
