Roni, the watermelon seller at Karwan Bazar, is now the talk of the country on social media. Roni is now the talk of the town by attracting customers in innovative ways or by giving various quotes. At the same time, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and the entire club have also become involved with watermelon. In 2019, he made a bet on his team that if the team loses the next match, he will sell watermelons on the streets of Madrid.
Since then, the chemistry between Diego Simeone and watermelon has been well-received all over the world. After recently losing to Real Madrid and being eliminated from the Champions League, the internet is abuzz with the incident of 6 years ago involving watermelon and Atletico Madrid. From Bangladesh to Madrid in Spain, everyone is associating Atletico Madrid with watermelon. But many are also looking for the answer to how this connection with each other began.
Simeone himself made the delicious and juicy fruit watermelon his own. Italian clubs Juventus and Atletico Madrid faced off in the Round of Sixteen of the 2019 Champions League. Atletico won the first match at home 2-0. After that match, a confident Simeone said, “If Juventus can return to the aggregate in the next match, I will sell watermelons on the streets of Madrid.”
Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid lost 3-0 in that match on March 13. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in Turin. Once again, Diego Simeone was defeated by Ronaldo’s magic. However, because Ronaldo is an important chapter in Madrid’s history, its effects continued in the following years.
Basically, since that match, whenever the Madrid derby comes, the name of Simeone has been associated with the name of watermelon. This year has been no exception. Rony, a watermelon seller in Bangladesh’s Karwan Bazar, has awakened that a little more. Although the geographical gap between the two is two continents, social media has put Rony and Diego Simeone side by side.
In the international arena, however, Melmouz’s friendship with Simeone and Atletico Madrid dates back a long time. The Argentine coach can, however, consider himself unlucky. The very comments made with overconfidence are now a big disaster for him.
