Mojica and Boyé, from Atlético futures to rivals on the pitch

Johan Mojica and Lucas Boye they face a match indicated in the calendar. The two Elche internationals have been sounding, in recent months, like Possible reinforcements for Atlético de Madrid of the next season. From Mojica, from Colombia, it has been said that it has a principle of agreement signed with the colchoneros, something that no one has confirmed, while Boyé has pointed out that it is one of the options to replace Luis Suárez’s place in the forward line.

Although Elche arrives at a good time, seven points from relegation when there are only three games left despite the conceding win against Cádiz (3-0), Mojica and Boyé have reached the end of the campaign conditioned by the tremendous effort made during the championship. Both have been starters every time they have been available and, in addition, they have had to cross the Atlantic on more than one occasion to play with their national teams, especially in the case of the Colombian left-back. They are two footballers who not only stand out for their technique, but also for their physical waste and fight during the 90 minutes of play.

Mojica is the left back with the best numbers in the five most important leagues in Europe, thanks to his two goals and five assists. Boyéat 25 years old, has been one of the championship confirmations. He arrived at the Christmas holidays with seven goals and that led him to receive offers in the last winter market, especially one from Sevilla, which continues to insist on tying him short. Barça and Atleti were also on his horizon.

His wish is to play again against his compatriot Simeone’s Atlético. He wants to show that he arrives ready to end the championship with a good taste in his mouth and, who knows, whether to say goodbye to the Martínez Valero stands.
