Simeone Thrilled with Julián Álvarez's Performance
The Argentine forward is expected to start on the bench this Sunday against Leganés, after playing for his national team.
Atlético Madrid's coach, Diego Simeone, highlighted on Saturday how Julián Álvarez has been "improving," has "incredible skills," and is "getting better every day, more adapted, and more involved with the team."
"He's been growing, getting used to his new teammates, and adjusting to the coach's new style of play... He’s a guy with amazing abilities. The other day, he played as a left winger for Argentina, acting as a fourth midfielder when defending and a third attacker when attacking, similar to how we played against Real Madrid, and he even scored," Simeone noted.
"He offers the team versatility, and every day he’s getting better, more adapted, and more engaged with the squad—and we need him at this level," he added.
