Julián Alvarez: The new star of Atlético de Madrid
Atlético de Madrid has found a new superhero in Julián Alvarez, who has become the great hope of the red and white summer. Despite arriving with little summer rest and having to adapt to a new league and style of play, Julián has fit like a glove in Simeone’s team.
With only 15 shots on target, he has scored nine goals in all competitions, making him the reference of the squad. In addition, he has generated important chances and has recovered a lost facet in the Champions League, scoring the first free-kick goal in the competition since Kun Agüero in 2009. Julián aspires to be the next forward to reach 20 goals in his first campaign at Atlético de Madrid, following in the footsteps of Griezmann, Mandzukic, Luis Suárez and Falcao. The Atlético de Madrid front line is plugged in and begins to pay off.
