The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon based club have a tight game schedule approaching with involvement in European Super Cup against Chelsea and Real Betis in La Liga in two days time.
Atletico Madrid’s La Liga fixture against Real Betis is scheduled for Monday, September 3 at 21.30 at the Benito Villamarin, a match they would like to be postponed due to their participation in European Super Cup thanks to their triumph in UEFA Europa League.
The meeting was set for Monday because Atletico Madrid dispute the European Super Cup on Friday in Monaco against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. With a few hours of recovery before their match against Real Betis, Los Rojiblancos administrators are seeking a favour from the movers
and shakers in Spanish corridors of power.
However, neither the League of Professional Football (LFP) or TV operators realize that Monday 3 is a FIFA date with the international break coming up.
With the world body's regulation forcing clubs to release their players to national federations in time to join their national teams, Atletico Madrid and LFP find themselves in a trifle situation.
As a result, both Atletico Madrid and Real Betis would be forced to play the game without the help of their international stars. For Atletico Madrid the situation is hazardous as there are seven first team players who are usually called to their respective
national teams.
If the match is not deferred, Los Colchoneros would have to travel to Seville without important players in Diego Pablo Simeone’s plan of action.
The players El Cholo set to lose are http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanfran-c19849 being called up for their respective national teams.
Whilst the case of European players can be overlooked, it is the clutch of South American stars who are the main source of worrying in Atletico Madrid dugout. The players have to cross the Atlantic to link up with their national teams and will have to leave
before Monday to complete their integration.
With the Spanish Football Federation and the League of Professional Football willing to budge, it is the world governing body that is inflexible. The date is Monday 3rd and all international players have to be incorporated without any underlying pretext
to their national selections.
