Colchonero Chat 148: Huesca and the Morata Transfer

Rob Walker (@rwalk03) is a staff writer at Into the Calderón and the guest on this edition of Colchonero Chat. He joins Into the Calderón site manager Jeremy Beren (@JBBeren) to discuss all things Huesca — where Atlético Madrid won 3-0 on Saturday evening.

Rob and Jeremy break down Atlético’s best away performance of the season to date. Atleti finished with less possession than LaLiga’s bottom side, but won away thanks to goals from defenders and Koke. The podders talk about Koke’s 400th game in red and white, buildup play, winning without an Antoine Griezmann goal and debuts for two top academy prospects.

Then, the guys spend time analyzing Álvaro Morata’s pending return to Atlético, what the ex-Real Madrid forward has endured at Chelsea and what he can add to Diego Simeone’s side as the season nears its business end.
