This morning, Robin Le Normand was officially presented as a new Atlético de Madrid player, the first of the official presentations. Le Normand was officially announced a few weeks ago and has already made his debut in the Atlético de Madrid shirt in the friendly against Juventus in Turin last Sunday. Packing the press room at the Metropolitano this morning, Le Normand promises to be one of those defenders that Diego Pablo Simeone likes so much for his rock-solid defence.
Many of the leaders and senior officials of Atlético de Madrid were present at the presentation of the Spaniard, among whom Enrique Cerezo stood out. The president of Atlético, as usual, addressed the press and all of Atlético 's fans in his statements, which left no one indifferent. Convincing and excited in his turn to speak, Cerezo 's words at the microphone were the centre of attention when Le Normand did not have the microphone in his hands.
Cerezo's words at the presentation of Le Normand
On this occasion, the president of Atlético de Madrid wanted to thank the club's fans for their patience, stating that "things take time" and that they have "worked very hard." Cerezo has stated that many were "impatient" and that "a great job has been done to reinforce the squad," a squad that has not yet been 100% complete. The Atlético de Madrid president has expressed his wish that Le Normand does well in the team and has given him a warm welcome along with his loved ones.
Saying that this is going to be "his home", Cerezo was particularly affectionate with his new player, who he predicts will have a great future with the Atlético de Madrid shirt. Le Normand knows the importance of his signing and what he has to show on the field, being an experienced player for years in the Spanish LaLiga . Le Normand arrives at a club that, in his own words, is "a very big club" where he hopes to become a legend and demonstrate his quality.
A flagship market
The truth is that Cerezo was quite right in his words when he pointed out that Atlético de Madrid had strengthened considerably this summer, and that there are still reinforcements pending. Le Normand was the first of the three new men incorporated under Simeone 's orders and of those yet to arrive this last month of the transfer market. With the start of LaLiga just around the corner, the pending signings will be closed sooner rather than later and everything will be decided before the debut at the Metropolitano .
In communion with his new companions
From day one, Le Normand has been welcomed as one of the team by the entire dressing room, where he feels very comfortable and with whom he wants to succeed. The Spanish international has also enjoyed the company of his friend Alexander Sorloth , who officially arrived on the same day as him. With this good rapport and the good vibes between the players, the Atlético fans know that this season can mean something very big in the annals of Atlético 's history.
