“The shield is no longer above, the shield is already inside”. The sentence is from Iselin Santos Ovejeroplayer of Atletico Madrid between 1969 and 1974 and who later in the 90s came to occupy the rojiblanco bench, being the coach of the team that lifted the Copa del Rey in 1991 after the surprising dismissal of Tomislav Ivic at the end of that League.

Five seasons at Atlético that served to be a mattress player forever for this Argentine central defender who won over Calderón. The red and white fans recognize him as one of their own. And this Friday they showed it to him.

Because a group of athletes, called ‘Children of the Calderon’, He wanted to offer him a modest but emotional tribute. They gave him a replica shirt that he himself wore in the famous battle of Glasgow in 1974.

And of course, he was excited. With these mattresses he remembered anecdotes from his football days. Ovejero returned to that stage, ‘rejuvenated’, as he himself said, and was very grateful for the detail of this group of rojiblancos who wanted to honor one of his legends.
