Alemao: Colchoneros Memories and Advice for Simeone

Former Atlético de Madrid player, Alemao, has shared his memories of his brief but impactful time at the club. Signed in the 87/88 season, Alemao arrived as one of the last big names promoted by Vicente Calderón, although his relationship with the subsequent president, Jesús Gil, was strained.

The Brazilian fondly remembers his arrival at the club and the impact Calderón had on his decision, although he also recalls the political differences that led him to leave Atlético and Spain.

Despite his short stay, Alemao left a mark on the Colchoneros fans and now, from a distance, closely follows the team’s current affairs. In a recent interview, he has expressed his unconditional support for Cholo Simeone, recognizing his great work at the head of the rojiblanco bench.

However, Alemao dares to advise Simeone, suggesting that, if he were in his place, he would seek new challenges in other teams to broaden his horizons and fight for even more important titles. He believes that Simeone has the potential to emulate coaches of the stature of Guardiola.

Alemao values Atlético’s effort, highlighting that reaching the penalties against Real Madrid is already a considerable achievement. He prefers not to enter into comparisons about whether Julián Álvarez is the best striker in the world, recognizing the talent of other players like Mbappé. Ultimately, Alemao maintains a special bond with Atlético de Madrid and remains a fan, wishing the team and its future all the best.
