Atletico Madrid coach Simeone praises Alvarez for his diligent performance, yet emphasizes the need for patience following his initial goal for the team.
In the heart of the Spanish capital, Julian Alvarez has been making waves for Atlético Madrid. The Argentine striker, who joined the club from Manchester City on a six-year deal, has been a key performer, scoring at least 30 goals and providing 8 assists in 58 appearances for the club overall.
Alvarez's LaLiga statistics are particularly impressive. In 39 appearances, he has netted 18 goals and supplied 4 assists. The season has started on a high note for Alvarez, with an exceptional free-kick goal in the opener against Espanyol that has been deemed a contender for LaLiga’s goal of the season. Over his last five LaLiga matches, he has contributed 3 goals and 2 assists.
Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid's head coach, has expressed his admiration for Alvarez, describing him as a noble, hard-working boy. Simeone anticipates a lively atmosphere at the stadium for Atleti's Champions League match and hopes the players and fans will respond positively to the occasion. He continues to express confidence in Alvarez's potential to score goals throughout the campaign.
Alvarez's first goal for Atlético Madrid came in a 3-0 victory against Valencia, a game that marked his European debut for the club. Simeone anticipates that Alvarez will make his European debut against Leipzig in the Champions League opener on Thursday. With the reported value of the deal being up to €95million (£81.8million), Atlético Madrid has made a significant investment in the young striker.
Alvarez's move to Atlético Madrid came after a successful stint with Manchester City and a standout performance at the Copa America, where he helped Argentina secure victory. Despite being a newcomer to the Spanish capital, Alvarez is still in the process of settling in. However, his performances so far suggest that he is adapting well to his new environment.
With Alvarez's impressive form and Simeone's confidence in his abilities, Atlético Madrid fans can look forward to a promising season ahead. Simeone's anticipation for Atleti's return to the Champions League is shared by many, and with Alvarez leading the attack, the team is poised to make a strong showing in Europe's premier club competition.
