Eagle-Eyed Fans Spot What Cesar Azpilicueta Did in Conor Gallagher’s First Atletico Madrid Training Session
Conor Gallagher’s big-money move to Atletico Madrid has finally gone through, and the English midfielder has already started training with his new teammates. But eagle-eyed fans have spotted something interesting – Cesar Azpilicueta, the Chelsea legend who recently joined Atletico, was seen helping Gallagher navigate the training session.
A Helping Hand
In the footage released by Atletico Madrid, Azpilicueta can be seen constantly chatting with Gallagher, likely to help translate drills and instructions to the Englishman. This is a big deal, as Gallagher’s lack of Spanish could have been a major obstacle in his adaptation to the team.
Fans React
Fans have been quick to praise Azpilicueta’s gesture, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for the Chelsea legend. "Captain fantastic, Azpi still captaining the Chelsea," wrote one fan. Another added, "Azpilicueta really is a good guy, Gallagher is surely in good hands over there all the best Conor."
A Concerned Fan
However, not everyone is convinced that Gallagher will thrive at Atletico. One fan expressed concern about the language barrier, writing, "I don’t know. Even tho Azpi’s there I can feel the weight on Gallagher’s chest. I can feel the sense of being lost. I don’t think this was in the plan. I really think he didn’t want to leave."
The Verdict
While there are certainly concerns about Gallagher’s adaptation to his new team, Azpilicueta’s presence could be a major factor in his success. The Chelsea legend has a reputation for being a leader and a mentor, and his guidance could be invaluable to the young English midfielder.
