Sant Llorenç des Cardassar has not awakened from sleep. The small Mallorcan town continues to hallucinate with the visit of the Atlético de Madrid in the first round of the Copa del Rey. And much more the players who faced the Saúl, Lemar, Felipe, Correa and company.
The team, from the Third Division, stood up to a team like the colchonero, which although it reserved important players, jumped onto the Es Moleter turf with ten internationals. The messages of thanks from the Balearic Islands with the rojiblancos were a constant since the referee declared the end of a match that ended 0-3.
“Even being very superior they have been humble, they have not underestimated us and I take the opportunity to thank Atlético for having accepted the conditions of this tie in the humble field on artificial turf”, said the local coach, Michelangelo Thomas, after the crash at a press conference.
“They have been very good to us”Repeat the Cardassar footballers, who also received a gift from the mattress expedition. And it is that despite not being able to exchange the shirts at the end of the match due to the anti-Covid protocol, all the local players had rojiblancas elastic. How?
Well, Atlético, aware of the illusion it would make them, delivered a box to the Cardassar with the shirts of all the members of the squad, even those who did not travel to Mallorca due to technical decision or injury. That is, those of Oblak, Joao Félix, Luis Suárez, Diego Costa…
Apart from this detail, the Cardassar also applauded on their social networks the attitude of the members of the rojiblanca expedition, who even left the visiting wardrobe completely collected. A visit, that of Atlético to Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, that will never be forgotten in this town that in 2018 was severely hit by a flood that left the town devastated and 13 fatalities.
