In the 17th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid played away against Athletic Bilbao. In the first half, Sanchet missed a penalty and Atletico escaped. In the second half, Atletico conceded consecutive goals in a short period of time. In the 51st minute, Guruzeta outflanked the goal, and in the 64th minute, Nico Williams scored a world wave. At full-time, Atletico lost 0-2 to Athletic Bilbao.
Atletico are currently fourth in La Liga, two points ahead of fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao with a game in hand, and the top four in the league are a bit precarious. In addition, Atletico Madrid have suffered three consecutive defeats in away matches in La Liga, and the team urgently needs to make changes. In the past, Puyol of the Premier League fell off a cliff, and at the age of 27, he bid farewell to his peak, and his worth plummeted by 30 million.
Looking back at the match between Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, there is one defender in the Atletico Madrid team who is too disappointing, and he is the Turkish international Se Yunju. Athletic Bilbao's penalty was a gift from Seyunju when he fouled in the box and gave the opposition a penalty, but it was not scored.
Seyunju played only 45 minutes before being replaced by Atletico Madrid coach Simeone because his performance was very unsettling, with the ball not in place and a bit reckless in defence. After fulfilling his contract with Leicester City, Seyunju left on a free transfer this summer to join Atletico Madrid, and this match against Athletic Bilbao was his first start for Atletico Madrid, but his starting debut was messed up, making it even more difficult to get a starting spot in the future.
Looking back on his career, his development has been below expectations. Seyunju once replaced the departed Maguire, who became the core of the team's defense at Leicester City, and he was recognized by Leicester City fans with his fierce style of play and full of fighting spirit, and his style of play and shape are very similar to Barcelona legend Puyol. Seyunju won the FA Cup and Community Shield as Leicester's main player, and was worth €45 million in 2021.
At that time, Se Yunju had a bright future and was the target of the giant team. Now worth only 15 million euros, he had few chances at Leicester City last season and was a substitute at Atletico this season. Due to injuries and other factors, Se Yunju's career has been turned upside down, and it is a pity that he became a second- or third-rate central defender because of his poor performance at his golden age.
