Obed Vargas: "I've supported Atlético since I was a kid" | OneFootball

Obed Vargas is one step away from becoming a new player for Atlético de Madrid. The Mexican midfielder is about to fulfill his childhood dream, after being able to face the rojiblanco team this summer in the Club World Cup. At the end of the match, the until-now Seattle Sounders player made his feelings for the rojiblanco side and for Griezmann, his favorite player, very clear.

In his meeting with Griezmann, where Obed Vargas received the French Atlético player’s signed jersey, he said: “Griezmann is my favorite player, he’s an Atlético idol and the player I’ve followed since I was a child.” He also stated that he has been a die-hard fan of the rojiblanco team since he was very young: “I’ve been following Atlético since I was a kid, since I was 10 years old. I was very far away, I grew up in Alaska, and it’s an honor to face them.”

In the interview with Atlético de Madrid’s official media during the Club World Cup, the young midfielder concluded: “Atlético is very hardworking and gets results out of nothing. I really identify with Atlético’s fight, courage, and heart.”
