Diego Simeone has the most international Atletico in La Liga

Diego Simeone has the most international team in the history of Atletico Madrid. Keep in mind that there are 14 different country representatives. 

Different cultures

Atletico is a melting pot of cultures. The Rojiblanco team has one of the shortest squads in LaLiga, with only 22 first-team players, but 14 different national teams are represented. With the winter incorporation of Daniel Wass and Reinildo Mandava, two countries that had hardly been in force in the club’s history are completed. The Dane follows in the footsteps of a Jesper Gronkjaer who joined Atletico in January 2005, but only stayed with the team for six months before leaving for Stuttgart despite leaving a good impression on the fans. In the 1940s, the Danish Borge Mathiesen had signed as a rojiblanco, but he did not even make his debut. And in the case of Reinildo, he became the first Mozambican footballer to wear the mattress shirt.

Two internationals from Uruguay

With two internationals are Uruguay, with Suarez and Gimenez and Argentina, which has De Paul and Correa. And with only one participant appear Mexico (Herrera, 95), Montenegro (Savic, 61), Belgium (Carrasco, 54), Croatia (Vrsaljko, 51), Slovenia (Oblak, 44), Denmark (Wass, 41), Mozambique ( Reinildo, 31) and Portugal (Joao Felix, 20). There are also Kondogbia, but the pivot opted for the Central African Republic, where he has played eight games. The Spanish team has three representatives: Koke, Llorente and Hermoso. Brazil also has three, with Lodi, Cunha and Felipe. A total of 22 footballers, where everyone knows what it’s like to receive a call from their coach and a squad that includes an amalgamation of nationalities that make Atletico one of the most diverse teams in Europe.
