Yesterday, Atlético de Madrid welcomed many of its new signings from its men's and women's teams to the Metropolitano. The club gave the new additions a warm welcome, and they were cheered by the entire stadium when they came out onto the pitch. After around an hour and a half of entertainment, the ceremony concluded with the players' lap of honour, excited about their arrival in Madrid.
Of all the new signings of Atlético , the one who captured all the attention after his announcement was Julián Alvarez . The Argentine will be the main link in Simeone 's new project to try to return Atlético to the best of the continent. Given the magnitude of the signing, the club wanted to launch a special shirt in its stores to pay tribute to him, although it has not been well received by the fans.
The controversial shirt of Julian Alvarez
In relation to his famous nickname of "The Spider" , Atlético de Madrid announced yesterday a special edition with a small patch of the arachnid and the number "19" of Alvarez . The gesture was well received by the club's fans, who, however, differ on the very high price of the red and white jersey. The patch added to the player edition fabric raises the cost of the shirt to 219 euros , something inaccessible for many fans.
The shirt had already been leaked on social media a few days ago, as had its price, and it started to cause a stir among a good part of the fans since then. The product was made available to the public as soon as the presentation ceremony concluded and the controversy over its price was instantaneous. If it weren't for this high cost, the shirt would have been a hit with fans, excited about the arrival of Julián Alvarez .
The Spider that Bites
The Argentine instantly fell in love with the Atlético fans, who gave him a welcome worthy of the player he is. Julián was visibly moved when he was welcomed at the Metropolitano and thanked all the fans for their unconditional love. With the promise of trying to give his best to make Atlético de Madrid champions, Julián said goodbye to the fans until this Sunday.
Girona, marked by fire
With the possibility of making his debut in the starting 11 on Sunday against Míchel 's men, Julián encouraged the fans to come to the stadium on the 25th . "La Araña" knows that Sunday will be his night, a night in which he hopes to make the entire red-and-white faithful happy, who are at his feet. Determined to mark a before and after at Atlético de Madrid , Julián Alvarez has come to become a legend of the club.
