• Mercado El Atlético finalizes the arrival of Dembélé

Diego Pablo Simeone explained from the Wanda Metropolitano lectern, at the press conference prior to the match against Sevilla (M / 21.30), that it had taken "creativity to be able to get together and train."

And few as creative at Atlético as Yannick Carrasco, who grabbed a Seat Panda from a neighbor in his urbanization and, with

Lemar

as co-driver and

Vrsaljko

in the back seats, headed to the red-and-white stadium for the (pen) last training session before of the important league clash.

Old remedies never fail.

"We were coming in the vans that have brought us, because the important roads are fine, but in Madrid and in the urbanizations there are difficulties and we must find a way to get to the meeting point ... Luckily we were able to train," sighed

Simeone

, after the entire squad managed to reach the pre-game session against Sevilla.

There will still be another one, activation, the same Tuesday, on the Wanda lawn.

And is that Atlético had to come to the rescue of eight members of the squad.

Huge 4x4 cars, with larger than normal wheels, prepared to move through the snow, came to the rescue of those who could not leave their homes with their own vehicles.

They all came together with a smile, and warm to the teeth, on the cold (but clear of snow) grass of the Wanda Metropolitano.

The team had not trained since Friday and some players had not been able to leave home to exercise since Filomena broke in with force.

As Yannick Carrasco could not take the car out of his home, and he is not lacking in humor, one of his neighbors offered him an old Seat Panda that, as he demonstrated, still has more than enough energy.

"It is a model that works very well on the snow," they assured this newspaper from the club.

The Belgian, of course, accepted the offer.

On the way to the venue, they passed

Marcos Llorente

who, like

Koke

or

Hermoso

, traveled with their own vehicle.

The overtaking was immortalized on video.

"As for the field, very good, obviously cleaned. It looks very good, with a normal state to be able to compete. And surely there will be no difficulties with respect to the field of play," he valued during the telematic press conference after the morning session.

"The circumstances will be cold, with the field that little by little will get not so good, and very cold. Not much more," he added, after confirming that the arrival of Moussa Dembélé is well advanced.

The image of the Seat Panda, with Carrasco at the controls, is already part of the rojiblanco anecdote in this storm Filomena.

We will have to see how he manages on Tuesday morning, hours before the game against Sevilla, to travel to the Metropolitan.
