Julián Álvarez: The Colchonero Challenge
A media campaign seeks to distance Julián Álvarez from Atlético de Madrid, arguing that he needs a team where he can win titles. However, this pressure ignores the ambitious project of the Metropolitano, one of the main reasons why the Argentine player decided to join the club.
His choice is also based on the continuity of Diego Pablo Simeone, who continues to bet on the project. Julián’s challenge at Atlético is comparable to the one Maradona faced in Naples, although in a different context.
While Maradona conquered Italy, Julián seeks to triumph in Spain, a territory dominated by Messi for years. Just as Messi needed partners like Eto’o, Villa and Suárez, Atlético de Madrid is committed to surrounding Julián with top-level players.
The possible arrival of Baena is just the first step. The goal is clear: to build a team that allows Julián Álvarez to show his greatness and lead Atlético to win titles. The club is working hard to make this happen, strengthening the squad so that the ‘Spider’ can shine in the Metropolitano. In the same way that Messi proved his worth by winning a World Cup with Argentina and Guardiola conquered the Champions League outside of Barcelona, Julián has the opportunity to write his own success story at Atlético. The club is confident that, with the right support, Julián can help Cholo reach new heights.
