Aguero retired, the talented goalscorer who debuted in The Argentine independent team and destroyed at Atletico and Manchester City. Unfortunately, Aguero, who once wore a Atletico jersey, was not able to create glory again after returning to La Liga, but Aguero still has a very good reputation in Spain, and Barca prepared a grand farewell ceremony for the veteran who only scored 1 goal for the team in 165 minutes, when Aguero was the "dream lover" chased by the major European giants, and finally he chose to "hold hands" with Manchester City and spent the golden decade of his career there.
Aguero is inextricably linked to Atletico, his first stop in Europe and where he poured the whole of Europe into his football talent, where he played for 5 seasons, scoring 100 goals, his long hair, dashing and sharp stadium image is still fresh in people's minds, and Aguero himself is regarded as one of the best representatives of "Atletico Madrid". So, what is the current situation of Atletico's successive shenfeng?
Vieri: In 1997-98, the famous Italian striker Vieri played for Atletico Madrid, the famous football "prodigal son" although he only stayed for one season, but his outstanding performance in Spain is often mentioned by posterity, he scored 29 goals for Atletico in 31 appearances this season, including 24 goals in La Liga and 5 goals in European games, which was quite terrifying in that era. In 2009, Vieri officially hung up his boots, and after retiring from the army, Vieri lived a rather leisurely life, playing professional poker games in the United States, working as a DJ, enjoying beach soccer, and occasionally commenting on the dynamics of today's football world.
Hasselbaink: It's also an impressive story, the Dutch shooter scored 33 goals for Atletico in a single season in 1999-2000, including 24 goals in La Liga, but Atletico scored only 48 goals in the league this season, with 9 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses and 38 points in the table, and Atletico, with stars such as Haselbaynk, Barahja, Valerian and Solari, actually relegated to La Liga at the end of the season. Hasselbaink spent most of his career in England, and after retiring he took charge of the coaching whip, and is currently the manager of League One side Burton.
Torres: Torres is the "golden boy" produced by Atletico's youth training and the hope of Spanish football in the past. Torres was officially promoted to Atletico first team in the summer of 2001 and left for Liverpool in the summer of 2007. Torres had an enviable career, becoming one of the most important founders of the glorious years of Spanish football, and his forward combination with Villa helped the Spanish national team stand on top of the world. In the winter of 2015, Torres returned to atletico and retired after moving to Tosu Sandstone in Japan. This summer, Torres was invited to coach atletico's echelon, and now he is working to develop a future successor for his old club.
Diego Fran: The Uruguayan's experience at Old Trafford from 2002 to 2004 was not a success, but he showed the quality of a world-class striker when Fran moved to La Liga, with Forlan winning the European Golden Boot during his 2004–05 season with Villarreal and joining Atletico in the summer of 2007 for €21 million. In the 2008–09 season, Fran won the European Golden Boot again at Atletico, and 2010 was a bumper year for Fran, winning the World Cup Golden Ball and winning both the Europa League and the European Super League. In December 2019, Fran took over another Uruguayan team, Atenas, who left in September 2020 as the head coach of Uruguayan powerhouse Penarol, and in March this year, Fran took over another Uruguayan team, Atenas, but only led the team to a record of 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, and was sacked by Atenas in September.
Falcao: At his peak, Falcao was a top scorer who terrified the defenders of almost all teams, and his dominance in the penalty area was rare even among world-class strikers. In the 2010–11 season, Falcao made 42 appearances in all competitions for Porto, scoring 38 goals, helping Porto win four titles in the Portuguese Premier League, UEFA Cup, Portuguese Cup and Portuguese Super Cup, and became the top scorer of the UEFA Cup. At Atletico, Falcao continued his amazing form, winning the Europa League's top scorer and scoring a hat-trick in the 2012 UEFA Super Cup final, and the prestige of "Atletico Madrid" resounded throughout Europe for a time. 、
In the summer of 2013, Falcao moved to Monaco FC in Ligue 1 for 60 million euros, and in January 2014, Falcao injured his knee in the French Cup, which seriously affected Falcao's form. After a period of injury at Manchester United and Chelsea, Falcao recovered after returning to Monaco, returning to La Liga this summer to join Rayo Vallecano, scoring five goals in La Liga this season.
Diego Costa: Diego Costa was Falcao's forward partner at Atletico, and in Falcao's peak years, Diego Costa provided various cover and support for colombians on the front line, and after Falcao left the team, Diego Costa became the protagonist of the team, and he also successfully took over the banner of "Atletico Madrid".
Costa was signed by Atletico in 2007 and later played for Celta, Albacete, Baladulide, Vallecano and other clubs, but Costa was successful after several ups and downs, scoring 27 goals for Atletico in the 2013-14 season and being poached by Chelsea in the summer. In 2017, Costa returned to atletico to play. Diego Costa is currently playing for Atlético Mineiro in Brazil, and his teammates include Hulk, Guillelme Arana and other famous players, who have won the Baliga title two rounds earlier this season.
Griezmann: The Frenchman, who has been a central figure at Atletico over the past few years and one of the best players in La Liga, is not a penalty area killer, but that hasn't affected Griezmann as Atletico's goal-scoring director for years. During his time at Atletico, Griezmann became a truly world-class player, having moved to Barcelona for more than €100 million. Griezmann returned to Atletico on loan this summer, can he continue to bring glory to Atletico?
Aragonese: Who are the most goalscoring players in Atletico's history? Luis Aragonés became a legend in the history of Spanish football for his historic Victory at Euro 2008 with his leadership of the Spanish national team, but in fact Aragonés was the top scorer in Atletico's history, having played for Atletico Madrid from 1964 to 1974, scoring 172 goals for Atletico. As a coach, Aragonés has coached Atletico four times, for a total of 611 matches. Aragonese died in Madrid in 2014.
Atletico Top scorers in Atletico's all-time top scorer list, followed by Adrian Escudero, who scored the 1,000th goal in Atletico's history, and Paco Campos, who helped Atletico achieve two consecutive league titles in 1939-41. The highest-ranking active player is Griezmann, who surpassed Galat to fourth place with goals from Atletico's match against Levante this season, and Griezmann, who has scored 140 goals for Atletico, has the opportunity to storm the top scorer in Atletico's history.
