The pandemic suffered by the Covid 19 went around the world. Football, like so many sectors, was greatly affected. Months without games, more than a year without spectators, drop in income from product sales, impossibility of holding events in stadiums… In short, a brutal impact on a sector that is especially dependent on its relationship with fans.
Another of the issues that was lost with the issue of the pandemic, less important but very representative in the tradition of the world of football, was that of presenting the new signings. Since the Covid broke into football – on March 11 the last match was played with the public, precisely with the Atlético before him Liverpooluntil more than a year later it returned to the stadiums with a certain normality-, the usual presentations were parked.
In the past course, the Atlético signed to Rodrigo de Paul, Matheus Cunha, Antoine Griezmann, Marcos Paulo, Benjamin Lecomte and in the winter market Daniel Wass y Reinildo Mandava. None of them was presented in the traditional format, before the media, in the auditorium that the Metropolitan have. None of them went down to the grass dressed in red and white to pose before the audiovisual media.
Renan Lodi, in his presentation
Since the irruption of Covidthe Atlético, like other teams, chose to ‘can’ this content. Do it with your own means to make it easier for the rest. The footballer’s visit to the stadium, the pose with the mattress managers, the first time with the ‘rojiblanca’…
Now, clubs like the Real Madrid or the FC Barcelona have recovered this custom and the Atlético Also study to do it. The last presentation to use was that of Renan Lodi, on July 9, 2019.
ROJIBLANCOS WITHOUT THE ‘ROJIBLANCA’
Now him Atlético studying to recover normality in this sense. It is not guaranteed that this is the case, but it is being looked at. for now, Witsel y Lino have not been presented, only their signing has been communicated, it is clarified from the Atlético. In other words, the possibility of recovering the old formula of presentations, in which they are seen with their new shirt, is being studied.
Because that is another, for now, in the images shared by the mattress club, none of the new additions has appeared with the new kit, the controversy of the wavy stripes. A rarity. In the last ten years there has not been a single debut in which the new signings have not appeared with their new shirt.
The Atlético announced the new equalizations on June 13. A day before, on June 12, was the first time that Samuel Lino visited the capital of spain for the necessary procedures for their signing. In the case of Witsel, It was even after that date, before leaving on vacation, so there would have been no problem for the two to wear the red and white in the images that appeared. Some images that may be released in the coming days or saved for a presentation.
