"The Wall Street Journal", the main financial newspaper of United States, published the past Monday an article on the Athletic of Madrid and defines it like Robin Hood of Spain"

"The colchoneros ("The Mattress") -says the article- during more than 40 years have been for the Real Madrid what the Mets for the Yankees of New York" but now are to only a step to win the League and break a bipolar dynamics that hard more than a decade , the one of Barça and Real Madrid. "This hegemony explains , partly, by the distribution of the television rights, since the two main clubs of Spain carry until the 40 % of these profits". And it is by this reason that call him "Robin Hood of Spain".

"The club has a trainer that saw like a gánster", says of Simeone, "that works each party as if it was a fight of bar". The newspaper remembers that the Athletic is the team that commits more lacking and the second that less finish to goal allows. The Pupae ("The jinxed ones") , follows the article, "has near at hand another European final (the previous was the defeat against the Bayern of 1974) after deleting to an unusually mortal Barcelona". But to keep in the elite of the continental football, the Athletic would have to renounce "to the dangerous habit to lose to his best player every year". The list is long: Fernando Torres, Sergio Agüero, Ramadel Falcao... "And now, Diego Coast, Burn Turan and Thibaut Courtois already aim to the Premier League".
