Luis Suarez he is already getting into what it means to be a player of the
Atlético de Madrid

The Uruguayan, by mistake, almost fell into the same mistake. Something normal for newcomers to the mattress club. Luckily, there is always a teammate who takes new signings “on the right track.” In his case it was Vitolo. In a sequence of images collected by the English correspondent in Spain Sid Lowe, you can see how Suarez is talking to an opponent and does not realize that he is about to step on the shield that is placed at the exit of the dressing room tunnel of the Wanda

ITS ORIGIN
Year 2005, Luis Aragones he was the selector of Spain. The Red the pass was played to Germany World Cup in the play-off against Slovakia in the Vicente Calderón. In a moment of the match, the fourth official started to call the attention of the “Wise Man” so that he would not leave his technical area. During his journey, he planted his footprint on top of the shield that decorated the stadium band. The coach's answer was blunt: “And you don't step on that shield.” A tradition that is carried out to the letter in the Atlético de Madrid since then.
