Well we may or may not have belief in numerology, but sometimes they do have a mystical or coinciding relation with some events.

In this post we shall see how some of the player’s second names have had a coinciding relationship with Atletico’s and the player’s personal success.

From this pseudo-scientific study, I have drawn some instances on how the total number of letters in a player’s second name have some interesting facts.

Ex: Simeone -> S+I+M+E+O+N+E=7

The massive 5 letters in second name:

Players who have five alphabets in their second name have had tremendous success with Atléti.

FUTRE : F+U+T+R+E = 5

The Portuguese was a fan favourite and won two Copa del Rey trophies and also earned a legend status from the Atléti fans.

COSTA : C+O+S+T+A = 5

Diego Costa the beast, pantera was one of the best players of our historic 2013-14 season. Apart from his goals the lad has achieved 3 UEFA super cups, La liga, Europa league and the Copa del Rey.

OBLAK : O+B+L+A+K = 5

There should be no debate, Oblak is the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment and also in Atléti’s history. The Slovenian has won three straight Zamora, Europa league and the UEFA Super Cup.

GODÍN : G+O+D+Í+N = 5

The best defender of Cholo era also has five letters in his last name. He has won 2 Europa league, La Liga, 3 UEFA Super Cups, Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España. His name will always be on the first page of Atletico’s history books.

VILLA :

Even though the veteran Spanish striker had only one season at Atlético, he was very much popular contributing 15 goals and won the La Liga.

TIAGO :

The legend gave Atléti an edge and was a senior figure in the Cholo era. He won La Liga, Europa league, Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey.

TURAN :

Arda Turan was one of the best attacking midfielder at Atlético. Shame he left for barcelona. But he was quite an amazing player and won trophies with Atléti.

DE GEA :

The Spanish shot stopper came through the ranks of Atléti and won the Europa and had tremendous personal achievements elsewhere.

Next FÉLIX and LEMAR ?

Can Felix and Lemar achieve same success? Only time will tell and this coincidence can become true for them as well.

The awesome 6 letter club :

These amazing players have six letters in their second name and have achieved huge success and are legends and fan favorites.

TORRES

FALCAO

NIGUEZ

FORLAN

AGÜERO

GARCÍA

SUÁREZ

The beautiful 4 letters :

Gabi and Koke share four letters in their second name. Filipe Luis too has four letters in his second name. And ofcourse Gabi and Koke are the identity of Atléti.

The spiritual seven :

Diego Simeone and Jose Gimenez have seven letters in their second name. These two would definitely give their life for the club.

The worst nine :

If a player has nine letters in his second name then the facts say that they are rats. But definitely not all of them but namely Griezmann and the Hernandez brothers. These three left Atléti in a disrespectful way.

Do you have anything to add on? Kindly comment out.
