Colchonero Chat 163: The departed defense

Rob Walker (@rwalk03) is a staff writer at Into the Calderón and the guest on this edition of Colchonero Chat. He joins the program to speak with site manager Jeremy Beren (@JBBeren) on matters such as Atlético Madrid’s defense, goalkeeping and transitioning into a new era.

Rob and Jeremy analyze each player who made an appearance in goal or in Diego Simeone’s back four over the course of the 2018/19 season and ask one big question for each. The podders debate how the outgoing defenders will do with their new clubs and attempt to project next year’s quartet of center backs.

Then, the guys break down the latest transfer talk, including Espanyol’s Mario Hermoso, Nélson Semedo and Rodri.
