00:00Let's take a quick look back at what happened at Atletico Madrid this summer.
00:03Firstly, under the Mercato plan, we had 7 main departures.
00:06The first is Griezmann, who left for Orlando on a free transfer; we've talked about that enough before the end.
00:10seasonal.
00:11Nico González has returned to Turin, but perhaps he could come back to Atletico; he is currently...
00:15to negotiate that.
00:15I'm not lying to you, even if he's a combative player, I'm not necessarily keen to see him
00:18He'll come back from somewhere else, but well, if he comes back, so be it.
00:21Clément Langlais, who was no longer performing at the required level at Atletico Madrid, has left on loan with an option to buy.
00:24'mandatory purchase at Benfica.
00:26Thiago Almada and Ruggieri have left for River Plate and Aston Villa respectively.
00:31And given that these two individuals are problematic, I'm very glad they're no longer at the club.
00:34Naoué Moïna went to Aistroma, and little Julio Diaz had a little bit of time
00:38last year's player in La Liga left for FC Sevilla.
00:41In terms of arrivals, we have acquired 4 major players.
00:44The first is Alejandro Grimaldo to replace Mateo Ruggieri.
00:47I think I had time to say it before the World Cup, I would have liked to
00:50Marco Correa came to the club, but well, we were outmaneuvered by Real Madrid.
00:53Grimaldo is a great player, I'm convinced of his qualities, but I'm afraid he might be a
00:56His profile might be too offensive for that position for Atletico Madrid.
00:59I still have some doubts about his ability to defend well.
01:02We also have Morten Hulman who arrived from Sporting Portugal.
01:05He's coming off a really, really great season there, he had the captain's armband, he's a player
01:09who can play in midfield, but especially in defensive midfield.
01:11He's a player with a high physical presence, who is aggressive enough to win back possession by...
01:15-here and there.
01:15And finally, he has a pretty good technique for getting a good first restart.
01:19Next, Kang Inley arrived from Paris Saint-Germain.
01:22From a sporting perspective, it is the player's talent with the ball at their feet, but above all their versatility, that interests Diego Simeone.
01:26He can play on the right wing, he can play as a number 10, he can play as a second striker.
01:29So, I don't have much to say about these friendly matches yet, I'll be very honest, the match
01:33Against City, he's the only one of the four I didn't see.
01:35And in the match against Marseille, he played 36 minutes, so there's not much to say.
01:38But I'll repeat it here, he's really the player I have the most expectations for.
01:42next year.
01:43And finally, Kuti Romero has just left Tottenham to join the defense of Atletico Madrid.
01:47He's a player who's a little bit out of form, but I think it's when
01:50even a player who has quite a lot of quality.
01:52And I'm not lying to you, for me, it still had a third option in top-level central defense.
01:55level.
01:55But Atletico have chronologically won 4-1 against Etafe, lost 2-1 against Man United, lost 3-1 against
02:01Manchester City, and won 2-1 against Olympique de Marseille.
02:04And if there is a winner for me for these friendly matches, it is of course Arnaud Ortiz.
02:08Scored against Etafe, scored against United, provided a superb assist against Olympique de Marseille.
02:12For me, Atletico must keep him, Diego Simeone must integrate him into the professional squad.
02:16So yes, obviously not to be a starter, but to be a substitute, to get a few minutes here and there.
02:21The second strong point of this prep school is, of course, young Dominguez who is only 16 years old.
02:24He started all 4 matches, he is capable of playing centre, he can also play right back.
02:29And he scored against Manchester City.
02:31So yes, of course, he wasn't the player of the century, given that he also took
02:34Fuegos against very, very high-level players.
02:36But I remind you that we played against a huge team, a very strong team, and a great team.
02:39without even realizing it.
02:39And as I was saying a little bit earlier, Mortenio Le Monde was also interesting.
02:43But the one small drawback to all this is still the defense, that's it.
02:46It's clear that without Marc Poubile, there's a problem in this defense.
02:48We can see that Robins de Normand and company are not necessarily up to the standard.
02:52I think that in collaboration with Poubile and Guti Romero, we'll still be able to have something that
02:56Don't concede too many goals these years.
02:57Or at least not too much broth.
02:58So, you can see that I'm going to do something that doesn't concede too many goals these years.
