Well-deserved rest for Julián Álvarez, recharge your batteries!
Julián Álvarez, our ‘Spider’, is enjoying a well-deserved rest after a marathon season. The Argentine striker, a key piece in Cholo Simeone’s scheme, has been granted permission by the club to miss training and recharge his batteries before returning to action.
His absence this Saturday against Real Sociedad at the Metropolitano, due to a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards, will allow him to experience his first match as a fan since arriving at the club. And Julián’s effort has been immense.
After a demanding season with his previous team and international commitments with Argentina, including the Copa América and the Olympic Games, the striker has barely had time to rest.
Despite this, he has demonstrated his commitment and quality in every match with Atlético, accumulating 3,456 minutes in 51 official matches, with an impressive record of 27 goals in all competitions.
In addition, he has defended the colors of his national team in eight matches, adding another 677 minutes. From the club, aware of the enormous workload he has endured and fortunate that injuries have spared him, they have chosen to grant him this brief respite. Enjoy the rest, Julián! We are waiting for you with fully charged batteries to continue enjoying your football.
