San Valentín Ayuso and Almeida, golden singles: "Going out with someone from another ideology? It depends on dogmatism";
"Why not, I'm not here to demand"
Soccer Erika Choperena: more from Atlético than from Barcelona
"In love with Atleti, you can't understand it."
Or yes, if you are one of the protagonists of this report in which LOC has tried to
unravel what athletic infatuation is made of.
This supplement lands in a bar located on the outskirts of the Metropolitano where six women chat about life, football and everything else between coffee, wine and a gin and tonic.
They are the directives (in the absence of the treasurer, who has not been able to attend the appointment) of the Rojiblancas women's club, an association of women and girls dedicated to athletic fans.
"Iván Espinosa de los Monteros is not bad, he has the point of him. Focusing only on the physique", they comment.
The interviewer is afraid to interrupt the conversation to ask
them how they get to what they define "his life for him", the Atleti,
and how they met there.
Carmen:
"I came for my family. Grandparents, parents... We are three brothers, the three from Atleti... Our children too".
Carmen is the president of this athletic club that was conceived between Valentín, the stop prior to the Calderón matches and social networks.
She is a journalist, she was a correspondent in Singapore
and was planted in the Champions League final in Lisbon from there.
"It was 48 hours of travel, round trip."
Carmen has many followers on Twitter.
Her name is Carmen Calvo and they confuse her with the former vice president.
De la Peña is presidentCedida
Raquel:
"Mine is for love. My father had once taken me to the Bernabéu and he bored me like an oyster. I met my husband when I was 14 years old and went with him to the Calderón. There I said that I did not want another life. Not even without him nor without Atleti. I have two children who are also from Atleti", he confesses.
Raquel is a psychologist and has two athletic children.
The children of all have formed a pineapple and the creation of another club in the future is not ruled outCedida
Raquel is a psychologist and defends Cholo's "match by match" philosophy, which she recommends to some of her patients.
She married red and white.
"Her dress was white but she wore red shoes and when she lifted her tail to hold it, red and white stripes fell. Never completely white."
Daughter of Adrián Escudero, who was an Atlético player.
When she passed her father's plaque at the Metropolitano, she bent down to kiss herCedida
"Not even the pomace in white," adds Eva.
She carries Atleti in her blood, as she is the daughter of Adrián Escudero, one of the legends of the rojiblanco team.
She is the mother of another fervent mattress maker and a lawyer by profession, like Susana and Casilda.
"My grandfather was from Atleti, my father too and I followed the tradition", explains Susana.
She is a lawyer specializing in Family and in defense of battered men and women.
"It's striking, a taboo subject. Most of my clients are in a toxic relationship and there is mistreatment by both."
She is the only one who does not have children or a partner, so she takes advantage of this space to say that
"she is 40 years old and she just wants a normal guy."
And if she is from Atleti... better.
Susana is the youngest of the founding supporters of Rojiblancas.
She is the secretaryCedida
Casilda, who practices law in the tax and commercial field, also runs in the family.
She is the sister of Mayor Almeida, although she clarifies: "I am the oldest and he is the youngest. So he is the brother. We are six and he, another sister and I have the season ticket together."
Her maternal grandfather began taking her to the Atleti field when she was 3 years old.
"My grandmother was a Real Madrid fan and in order not to go to the Calderón, she told her: 'Take the girl'.
My mother was very fanatical and always went to the stadium. Now I have two daughters who are more athletic than even me. When they were little I put them in the bathroom at two o'clock and I sang to them:
'I'm going to the Manzanaaares'.
Two fervent colchoneras came out".
Casilda has a daughter who likes Oblak and she calls him son-in-law.
The mayor is her brother on loan
Belén, an ophthalmologist, explains that she felt "the call".
She has come from Valladolid, where she lives, to attend this appointment.
"It's like when God calls you.
Atleti called me. I am chosen and I feel privileged
. I have two children, one is from Atleti, the other is not. I used to come to football alone and now I have this supporters club".
Belén went to Lyon and forgot about the tickets.
But he managed to get into the game. Loan
The seventh athletic
motomami
, with Rosalía's permission, is Carolina.
"I'm a financier and I was born athletic from a red-and-white family to the core.
I have a husband who has embraced the athletic religion for me and two children who have inherited my passion. I've just seen a Valencia-Atleti already with labor contractions and whenever he plays At Atleti I have my scarf next to me, placed somewhere that touches the skin".
Carolina is the treasurer of the rock.
She did not attend the pleasant date of the Rojiblancas with LOCCedida
As they prepare to take a photo in the lyrics of Courage and Heart that crown the Metropolitan, they sing the anthem.
An ooole is heard and, indeed, they take advantage: "Ole, ole, ole, Cholo Simeone".
Casilda:
Cholo has made us change our coexistence with Real Madrid.
The day after losing a final, my daughters go to school with their heads held high and their shirts proudly on.
Susana:
We have put up with Real Madrid for 14 years all day long: 'We are looking for a worthy opponent to play the derby'.
Carmen:
When we weren't doing well, all the madridistas told us: 'I really like Atleti.'
I do not want that.
I want them to hate us, to disgust us.
Not that they feel sorry for us.
Raquel:
Being from Madrid is very easy.
And being from Atleti is life.
In life you don't always win.
Eva:
In Madrid if they lose they leave the stadium.
Raquel:
And if you lose in life, do you leave it?
Well that.
Casilda:
If you lose, you stay on the field singing.
Susana:
The 'El Pupas' thing makes us feel terrible.
He is hurtful.
Belén
: And the suffering thing.
sufferers?
No. Enjoy.
They declare themselves as
a supporters club of Atleti,
not feminist.
They want to elevate the role of women on the field (with the women's team) and outside.
Carmen:
For men it has always been easier to go to a game alone, or to the bar to watch it... In the stands of Atleti there are many more women than in others and they go for them, not accompanying anyone.
Casilda:
Of our generation there were few women who had gone to soccer.
Now have a chat where you can comment on plays, strategies, changes, etc.
For me it is the sauce of life.
Eva:
In my house the one who played soccer well was my sister.
My father used to say: 'If he had been a boy he would have left...'
Raquel:
I asked for a ball, a suit and some boots for communion.
I heard: 'the girl is a lesbian'.
As they distribute merchandising from the rock, they agree that, luckily, all these stereotypes have changed.
Although they no longer go to Valentín, they continue to do the previous cane before the games, which always "helps to anesthetize if there is a defeat."
They recognize that
they do not read the press or anything that the journalists say,
although they save Pedro Simón from his particular "burning".
They go from Sergio Ramos and that 93rd minute and also, they say, from the Champions League.
Next Tuesday they face Manchester City and Casilda and Carmen are going to see him in the English city.
"We are cautious with the result. But
the good thing is that the second leg is here and it's going to be tremendous."
Some do not forgive Griezmann for having gone to Barça.
Others have already forgotten.
They all agree that the one they really want is Erika, the player's wife, who advised him to stay at Atleti.
"We call him Erika's husband."
On May 6, the rock celebrates one year.
There are already 200 members, some even famous.
"There is a fan club for whom we are going to put a sink inside the stadium.
Mercheli, go wash up!
It's not machismo at all, it's that whenever she washes up, we score a goal".
And they add in unison to this
Viking interviewer:
"What? Have we turned you yet?"
