Julián Alvarez, the new leader of Atlético de Madrid
Atlético de Madrid has found in Julián Alvarez a player who embodies the spirit of Simeone and has become the team’s helm. Alvarez has taken several steps forward since he hung the Olympic gold medal around his neck and is now the team’s best midfielder and the one who commands the most.
The team has once again become a team in the broadest sense of the word and everyone is on the same page, which is reflected in the lack of ‘caritas’ and debates over a substitution of Griezmann. Atlético, despite the undisputed defeat against Sparta Prague, has been recognizable as in the early years and the local fans did not stop singing, cheering and enjoying until the end.
