Enrique Cerezo: “Sometimes we do win quietly, eh …”

Night has already fallen in Madrid when Enrique Cerezo walks through the Palace door. He can barely. There are dozens of hands that come his way. Hands that speak of heat, of May. Hands that congratulate you on the eleventh Atleti League. TO A few meters, between the sound of the horns and the traffic of a Tuesday afternoon-night in Madrid, the Neptune Fountain rises imposingly with the colors of the flag of Spain projected with light at its base. From his hieratic height it might seem that he even smiles. It is because of that cry, seven months ago, that so much feeds his stone. “Atleeeti, Atleeeti”. Thousands of people there celebrating. This winter is less cold. Although the night falls to 7º. He’s still wearing that scarf. The one Koke put on the fountain last May.

The Leagues are not quiet for us. You have to make them uneasy so that people enjoy themselves.” Finally, the raffle. “We know Bayern and we did very well less in the 1974 final.” The rival will be United. “We will try to get it,” he promised. Word of pressure.
