Atlético boss praises Catalan youth

While Atlético de Madrid and Barça prepare to compete for the top of the standings on Saturday December 21 during an XXL shock in La Liga, the president of the Colchoneros, Enrique Cerezo, did not hesitate to praise the youth and talent of the Blaugrana. “Barça has the youngest team in Europe, but it has magnificent players,” he said in the columns of the daily Sport, recognizing the quality of the Catalan workforce which is renewing itself brilliantly. Tied on points (38) but with a match in hand for the Catalans, the two teams are engaged in a tight duel at the top of the standings, marking the halfway point of the season in a crucial clash to win the winter crown.

“They have a wonderful future”

Faithful to his usual caution, Cerezo, however, tempered his remarks by emphasizing the importance of consistency: “For me, they have a wonderful future. But as I always say, we have to wait until the end of the season to see how it ends and how each team ranks.” While emphasizing the merits of Barça, the president of Atlético does not forget his own club, insisting on the high level of this duel at the top between two teams seeking confirmation in their quest for national glory.
