The exciting title fight in LaLiga is approaching its denouement. This weekend at the Camp Nou Barcelona and Atlético Madrid will face each other, while Real Madrid will receive Alfredo Di Stéfano Sevilla at the Estadio. Despite the fact that Wesley Sneijder gives his old trainer Ronald Koeman the best with Barcelona, the record international of the Dutch has a preference for Real Madrid. He would find it ‘fantastic’ especially for Sergio Ramos as the Royal becomes champion.
“If you come into contact with that club, you get infected with it. The stadium, that virgin white shirt, the fans and the enormous grandeur of Real ”, says Sneijder in conversation with The Telegraph. He states that Real Madrid is in his heart, partly because of the friendships he made in Spain. Like with Ramos. “A winner squared. At the time in the early twenties, but very passionate. The invincible has come to him in recent years. It’s not normal how important he has been to Real Madrid and Spain, is it? ”
Giovanni van Bronckhorst, as a former player of Barcelona, has a significantly different view of the title fight in Spain. The former Feyenoord trainer is particularly impressed by Koeman’s work in Spain. “He has made good tactical changes and radiates calm. I recognize that from his time at Feyenoord. I experienced him as a player and as a trainer. Thanks to his great career as a player and as a trainer, he is used to dealing with pressure. He is stable and that is nice for his players. When things went less well in the beginning, he also remained calm himself. ” Koeman is not on the bench against Atlético, as the last appeal against his suspension has been rejected.
Barcelona must deal with Atlético, the old club of John Heitinga on Saturday afternoon. “Barcelona is by far the best footballing team”, says the former defender. Heitinga emphasizes the importance of the meeting between Barcelona and Atlético. “Because I think whoever wins this pot will take the title. And in a tie, Real Madrid could well be the laughing third. Even if they still play the tough match against Sevilla. ”
