El Atlético C quiere seguir su escalada ante el Coslada


El Atlético de Madrid C, tras un comienzo de temporada titubeante, poco a poco va cogiéndole el pulso a la competición y quiere seguir su escalada. El Coslada, penúltimo clasificado, visita el Cerro del Espino y el equipo de Alejandro Sánchez dispone a priori de una buena oportunidad para alcanzar una posición más cómoda en la tabla clasificatoria.

El joven técnico rojiblanco recupera para esta cita a Maqueda y Pizarraya, aunque por el contrario pierde por lesión a Pipe y Aitor por lesión. Alejandro, además, sigue sin poder contar con Pirri, que sigue de baja.

El técnico rojiblanco reconoce que “estamos ante un buen momento para separarnos de los equipos de abajo e ir cogiendo confianza poco a poco. Nos hace falta ganar dos o tres partidos seguidos para luchar por nuevos objetivos”.

El Atlético B necesita sumar los tres puntos ante el Sanse


No ha empezado nada bien la temporada y el Atlético de Madrid necesita sumar los tres puntos ante el San Sebastián de los Reyes, un equipo que está completando una notable temporada y que ocupa la quinta plaza en la actualidad.

José Antonio Sosa Espinel apuesta por su equipo y reconoce que “será un partido complicado porque nos enfrentamos a un rival muy serio y que está muy bien clasificado. El Sanse está demostrando que tiene una gran plantilla. El partido es difícil teniendo en cuenta nuestra situación en la tabla clasificatoria, pero lo afrontamos con mucha ilusión y muchas ganas”.

El entrenador rojiblanco afirma que “el equipo está muy responsabilizado y la verdad es que está trabajando muy bien. Lo que nos hace falta es tener algo de fortuna y acierto en los últimos metros. Tengo claro que tarde o temprano tienen que llegar los resultados porque los jugadores están poniendo todo de su parte para ello”.

Como es habitual cuando el equipo juega en casa el entrenador canario ha citado a toda la plantilla y hará los descartes minutos antes de que dé comienzo el partido.

Salamanca warn Deportivo off Braulio
tribalfooball.com - November 29, 2006

Deportivo La Coruna are seeking a new striker.

Depor are in talks with Atletico Madrid for Braulio, who is currently starring on-loan at Salamanca.

The Segunda Liga club are furious with Depor's interest and a spokesman said yesterday: "A contract was signed and it is necessary to fulfill it. The lack of seriousness and respect to Salamanca hurts us. His agent (Juanma Lopez) told our technical director that Depor and Atletico had agreed a deal, but that doesn't mean anything until we give our approval.

"Braulio does not move from here."

¡Y Joel también paró dos... y metió un gol!

El meta del juvenil A repitió la machada de Leo Franco y emuló a Luciano Galletti

Walter R. Zimmermann / MADRID

04/12/06 03:00 h.Ante el Betis, Leo Franco atajó dos penas máximas y Galletti anotó un gol. Dos funciones que el portero del juvenil A del Atlético consiguió reunir durante un partido en su propia figura. Emuló a Leo Franco y protagonizó la machada de conseguir un tanto desde su propia portería. Fue el verdadero héroe de la cantera atlética en la última jornada disputada.

La cantera colchonera cuenta con un importante vivero de cancerberos. Joel consiguió demostrarlo con la actuación que protagonizó ante el Rayo Majadahonda. Su nombre empieza a sonar con fuerza en la factoría colchonera. Detuvo los dos lanzamientos desde los once metros de los que disfrutaron los majariegos y remató la faena con un golazo. Convirtió un saque de puerta en una 'diana' que colaboró a que los rojiblancos sumasen un punto. Un espectacular gol que raramente se puede ver sobre un terreno de juego y del que disfrutaron el sábado los espectadores que acudieron al Cerro del Espino.

Joel es uno de los cancerberos más prometedores de las categorías inferiores de los colchoneros. En el pasado curso levantó el campeonato en categoría de Cadete y este año se ha hecho con la titularidad en el equipo que dirige Antonio Sergio Piernas y que pelea por alcanzar el segundo puesto de su grupo.

El meta rojiblanco es también uno de los fijos en la Selección Sub-17 y entrena cada día a las órdenes de Diego, quien fuese cancerbero colchonero durante cuatro campañas

Spain battling Argentina for Atletico Madrid whiz Pacheco
tribalfooball.com - October 15, 2007

Spain are set to battle Argentina for Atletico Madrid whizkid Pacheco.

The young striker has been called into Argentina squads at youth level, but is still to be capped and has expressed interest in playing for Spain.

Atletico coach Javier Aguirre rates Pacheco highly and has involved him in senior training this season.

Batres and Álex Quillo, red-and-white hearts in the first squad


Javier Aguirre has decided to call up two players from Atletico B for the match against Lokomotiv, Batres and Álex Quillo. They are two players from the Atleti youth program, who have begun the season strongly as their team currently occupies fifth place in Group I of Second Division B. Both have red-and-white hearts, with fire running through their veins thanks to the years that they’ve spent moving up through the Atletico de Madrid developmental squads.

Batres arrive at Alevín A of the Football Base after coming from Carabanchel. He was born in Madrid 21 years ago and always supported by his family, especially by his father, to play football. He’s a player of incredible skill, who has always stood out in all of the youth squad teams. He coincided with Álex Quillo at Juvenile A and at Atletico de Madrid Juvenile Honour Division, with Abraham García as manager. Batres, who was already at that juvenile squad, stood out in the prestigious Marseille (France) tournament, in which Atletico proclaimed themselves champions and Roberto was named tournament MVP. Batres plays as a second striker and is the leading scorer for Atletico B this season with 8 goals.

Álex Quillo, on the other hand, arrived from the city where he was born, La Línea de la Concepción, then passed through to Atletico Zabal and arrived at Cadete B when he was 14. Álex had a tough time his first year, away from his family and friends, but he quickly adapted to his new life in Madrid and left his stamp both on and off the pitch. He’s made a spot for himself in the Atletico B starting line-up this season and his devotion each match came together for the leveling goal in injury time in the match that the second team drew in Lanzarote, 3-3.

The two players, in statements made to the Atletico web page, appeared happy and excited with this new adventure. Batres was included in the squad last season against Betis, but didn’t play, while Álex Quillo is debuting in a squad list with the first team.

Batres acknowledged that “its a prize for the good start of our team and my personal play. Being called up by the first squad is prize enough and we have to enjoy this moment. This is the greatest things that could happen to me in my career as a footballer”.

For his part, Álex Quillo affirmed that “it’s a dream that I’ve chased since I arrived from Cadiz. I’ve played in friendlies with the first team but this is an official match and, as Batres said, it’s a prize for the work done by everyone on Atletico B. It’s a happy day in my life. I’ve been looking for this moment since I was a child. This is another step forward in our athletic careers”.

Abraham García’s analysis
The current head coach of Atletico B, Abraham García, knows them both very well, as he had them under his tutelage at Juvenile A. The manager emphasized to the web page that “it’s a well-deserved prize. They’ve done things well. The goal of Atletico B is to make things easier for the first team coach if he needs players. As the person in charge of the team, it’s a job of the coaching staff that certifies that change of image that Atletico B has given”.

The manager defines Álex Quillo as “one of the players that makes little noise, also in his way of being. He always does things correctly and gets good marks in each match. He’s a footballer who knows where to be, who is good in the air, can score and distributes the ball well. He runs a lot when he doesn’t have the ball. He can play in the midfield, which he is doing with us, or as second striker. I told him at the beginning of the season that he had to improve, he’s worked hard and he’s a fundamental piece of the team”.

With regard to Batres, his coach said that he’s “different from your typical player these days. He has an incredible physique, with a very potent shot. He’s made a radical change physically and, because of it, with the talent that he has, performs better when he’s in good, strong shape. He takes advantage of his team-mates’ work and is blessed with a ‘magic wand’. He can ‘kill’ when he has space with his pace and strength”.

Koke, Sergio Marcos and Borja, called up by the Spanish Under-16 team


Club Atletico de Madrid SAD players Jorge Resurrección Merodio, ´Koke´, Sergio Marcos and Borja González have been called up by the Spanish Under-16 national squad to train at the Sports Complex in Las Rozas from the 29th-31st of October.

Ignacio Camacho signs a professional contract with Atlético de Madrid


The new generations of the Atlético de Madrid youth system are arriving with force and at the forefront of this new cast of young and talented atléticos is Ignacio Camacho. Centre-midfielder for Atlético de Madrid B and international with all of the Spanish inferior categories, we find ourselves before one of the most important members of the Atleti organization with eyes towards the future. For this reason, Club Atlético de Madrid, continuing with its firm policy of strengthening its link with the developmental squads, has signed Ignacio Camacho to his first professional contract. The deal reaches until June of 2010 and in this way the young midfielder takes another step in his promising athletic career.

Ignacio Camacho will never forget 2007, a year in which he grew as a footballer and in which successes accompanied him. He was proclaimed European champion with the Under-17 Spanish National team, acting as captain both on and off the pitch, and picking up the trophy at a tournament held in Belgium in which the Spaniards beat England in the final by the score of 1-0. In addition, the player was declared Best Player in 2007 by the Madrid Football Federation, receiving the award from its president, Vicente Temprado.

After arriving at Atlético at the ‘Cadet’ level, Camacho has been growing year-after-year until making the Atlético Madrid B squad this season. With the signing of this professional contract, the footballer takes another step in his athletic career.

In statements made to the Club’s official web page, Ignacio emphasized that “it’s a reason for any player to be happy for their club to have confidence in them. The Club has shown that it has great confidence in me and that’s reason to be thankful. I’ve always given anything to Atlético and it’s going to stay that way. Even though it’s an important step, I prefer to remain calm because I still have lots to show. My big goal is to solidify a spot for myself in the future of the first squad, which is what all of us footballers from the youth program want”.

This new step in his professional career is “an added pressure, but its very positive for my continual growth as an Atlético de Madrid footballer. What I’m very clear about is that I’m going to keep working with the same intensity that I have until now. I’m aware that I’m part of a grand club and I know that if I want to go far I can’t stop working. I came to Atlético because I placed my confidence in this organization and that’s why I’m appreciative, I’ll repeat, for the great confidence that they’ve placed in me”.

Camacho knows that “a great organization is obligated to sign great foreign players, but Atlético de Madrid has always kept their home-grown footballers in mind and that makes all of us young footballers aware that one day our opportunity to play in the first squad might come if we work hard and do things well”.

Atlético de Madrid has initiated an important phase in its history and Ignacio Camacho is called on to be a central figure in the first team in a not-so-far-away future. The midfielder thinks that Javier Aguirre’s team is on a very good path and considered that “they’re doing things really well this season, demonstrating that their a ‘grand’. The team is well-situated in the three competitions and has aspirations for big things, which I hope they can reach”.

He has his feet on the ground and he knows that his immediate future is linked to the reserve squad, which is having a notable season. The midfielder stressed that “good generations of footballers are arriving behind the first team, as is evident from the campaign that the reserve team is having. We have a good team and I’m sure that we’ll keep scaling spots as the weeks pass”.

Atletico de Madrid signs a pre-contract with Ghanaian striker Adams


Club Atletico de Madrid SAD has reached an agreement to sign a pre-contract with football player Sadick Adams to join the Madrid squad beginning on 1 January 2008. The player, who is 17 years-old, will train with Atletico B and will become a winter market reinforcement for the team managed by Abraham García.

The footballer, who turns 18 on January 1st, stated to the Atletico web page that “I wanted to come and play in Europe and coming to Atletico is fulfilling a dream. We follow the Spanish League a lot in Ghana and it’s a country that we like for their football and the atmosphere of the matches. My goal is to stand out and grow as a footballer at Atletico”.

Eveidently, a striker such as Adams has paid plenty of special attention to the player who was the Atletico ‘9’ up until this summer. “I liked Atletico because of Fernando Torres and now I follow him at Liverpool”.

Adams scored four goals in the Under-17 World Cup and defines himself as “a striker who is fast, explosive and good in the one-on-one”.

He’ll play a friendly with his national team on Tuesday the 20th in London against England, and will soon be thinking about his incorporation to Atletico de Madrid. The first part of his dream will come true very soon. The other, “to train and play alongside Agüero and Forlán”, will have to wait.

Borja culmina con 5 goles un brillante torneo con la Selección Sub 16


La Selección Española Sub 16 conquistó el Torneo Internacional de Santarem, en Portugal, tras derrotar en la final a la selección anfitriona por 0-7. Borja González, delantero del Cadete A, fue el autor de los 5 primeros goles del combinado nacional, culminando de esta manera un soberbio torneo en su estreno con la Selección Española. El equipo dirigido por Juan Santisteban inició el campeonato con un empate ante Escocia (1-1), y en el segundo compromiso, ante Noruega, derrotó a los nórdicos por 2-0.

El delantero rojiblanco, en su debut con la camiseta roja, estuvo presente en casi todos los goles de la Selección Española. En el primer encuentro, contra Escocia, dio el pase del primer gol, en el segundo, ante Noruega, inició la cuenta goleadora, y en la final consiguió esos cinco goles reseñados anteriormente. Un espectáculo...

Borja González analizó para la página web del Club su debut con la camiseta nacional, y aseguró que “fue el estreno soñado. Me lo había imaginado en muchas ocasiones, y aunque no lo pude conseguir en el primer encuentro ante Escocia, en el segundo choque, contra Noruega, conseguí mi primer gol con España, algo que nunca olvidaré”.

En la final del campeonato, España se enfrentó a Portugal y la derrotó por siete a cero. Un encuentro entre las dos mejores selecciones en categorías inferiores. Muchos ojos estaban puestos en el choque. Las gradas estaban abarrotadas y ahí apareció un jugador, Borja González. “No me esperaba conseguir cinco goles. El mérito es de todo el equipo y lo más importante es que conseguimos el título”, apuntó el delantero.

Cuando inició la temporada, allá por el mes de agosto, Borja tenía señalado en el calendario una semana, la primera de febrero. En esos días, la Selección Española Sub 16 debía jugar este torneo, y ahí quería estrenarse con la camiseta nacional y cumplió con su objetivo. “No me conformo con lo obtenido, quiero más. Ahora debo seguir trabajando en el Club para seguir progresando como jugador. Mi próximo objetivo es estar en la próxima cita con la selección, que será dentro de un mes”, explicó el jugador rojiblanco, que analizó el estado de la cantera rojiblanca y afirmó que “la entidad tiene confianza en la cantera. Está trabajando muy bien con nosotros y estoy seguro que dentro de unos años, habrá muchos jugadores de las categorías inferiores en el primer equipo”.

En su primera cita con la Selección Española ha conocido a muchos jugadores de diferentes equipos. Era la primera ocasión en la que todos coincidían y no ha podido tener impresión del grupo. “Es un equipo muy profesional, los compañeros está muy concentrados en los encuentros y son muy disciplinados. Creo que hemos formado un gran grupo, tanto a nivel profesional como a nivel humano”, reconoció el goleador.

Tras este paréntesis con la selección nacional, Borja volverá con su equipo, el Cadete A, para intentar conquistar el Campeonato de Liga. “El Real Madrid está a dos puntos y vamos a luchar por intentar arrebatarle la primera posición”, concluyó diciendo Borja González.

apparently we (rangers) signed some boy Luis Borja Lazaro on a free from atletico at the start of the season, can anyone tell me anything about him?
