Rob Walker (@rwalk03) is a staff writer at Into the Calderón and the guest on this edition of Colchonero Chat. He makes his weekly appearance to reflect on and review Atlético Madrid’s 2017/18 midfield. Rob and Into the Calderón site manager Jeremy Beren (@JBBeren) discuss how a weakness from the 2016/17 team unexpectedly got stronger in 2017/18 with mostly the same cast of characters. The podders take a closer look at Thomas Partey’s breakthrough, ironmen Koke and Saúl Ñíguez and have a long talk about Ángel Correa’s future. Also, they analyze the inconclusive Vitolo in addition to the dearly departed Yannick Carrasco before trying to figure out who starts in the 2018/19 midfield.
