Julián Alvarez has been, without a doubt, the summer signing for an Atlético de Madrid that has not stopped signing this market. "La Araña" has arrived at the Metropolitano to bite, bite as he already proved he is capable of in Manchester, River and shows in the Argentine National Team. Taking on the new challenge with pride and enthusiasm, Julián will be the player that Diego Pablo Simeone so longs for in his team.
Despite not having yet scored a goal for the red-and-white team, Alvarez remains the greatest hope for a fan base that is devoted to its new striker. The player from Cachín is very popular in the Atlético de Madrid environment, where they ask for patience with a very young player who is not adapted to the demanding pace of the Spanish competition. With today being a date to mark on the calendar, Julián takes on the challenge of making his debut for the colchoneros in "La Catedral" against Athletic Club de Bilbao .
It could be your big night
And after a difficult start to the league, Julián is slowly getting used to the general dynamics of the team. San Mamés is a stadium with history and just talking about it makes your hair stand on end, an imposing and competitive pitch in equal parts. With the difficult mission of breaking through the goal of "Los Leones" , San Mamés aims to once again be an impregnable fortress for Atlético de Madrid , determined to turn the situation around.
Alvarez has already started the last two games and is looking to do so again today in a duel between two of the best teams in LaLiga . This afternoon's game is crucial in the development of the competition, and the fact of beating a direct rival weighs heavily. Without having yet found his point in Simeone 's schemes, Alvarez is getting used to Atlético 's game as the days go by.
To assault "The Cathedral"
The Argentine wants to be at his best, just like with "La Albiceleste" , where he finds his best game under the orders of Scaloni . With San Mamés always a difficult ground, "La Araña" wants to get the three points from a stadium that has been choking Atlético in recent years. With the hope of being able to open his scoring today with the Colchonera jersey, Julián is determined to shine in Bilbao this afternoon.
Good day to shine
After three games in which Athletic has shown a lower level than last year, Atlético faces the challenge with conviction and is willing to take the three points. If this happens, Atlético de Madrid could redeem itself from what happened in previous years, where Ernesto Valverde 's men took the measure of the colchoneros. Focusing on their young and brand new star, today has to be the day of a Julián Alvarez willing to be a headache for the Bilbao defence.
