Simeone takes care of Julián Álvarez in the match against RB Salzburg
Atlético de Madrid held an emergency training session in Madrid on January 28 due to the cancellation of their trip to Salzburg due to strong winds.
During the session, the coaching staff paid special attention to Julián Álvarez and he only participated in the first part of the training due to his high number of minutes and the need to preserve his physical condition.
In the match against RB Salzburg in Austria, Diego Pablo Simeone made an unusual substitution by replacing Julián Álvarez in the 59th minute, despite the player not being happy for not having scored. The goal was scored to take care of the team’s most important player at the moment, thinking about the upcoming important matches against Mallorca, Getafe and Real Madrid.
