One of the players most eager to see on the pitch this season was Giuliano Simeone, who is already an established member of the first team. The Argentine played his first minutes of the season in the victory over Athletic Club, replacing Antoine Griezmann. Although he did not have much time to create any chances, he left a good impression on the pitch in Bilbao.
After this debut, Atlético de Madrid fans wanted to remember one of the first times he was at the Vicente Calderón . It must be taken into account that Giuliano Simeone had already been born when his father said goodbye, for the second time, to the red-and-white team. Now, both share the squad at the Colchonero team and it is expected that the forward will have more minutes.
The emotion of Giuliano Simeone
One of the great dreams of Simeone 's youngest son was to be able to make his debut for Atlético Madrid as a first-team player. It is important to remember that he already made his official debut in the 2021-22 season in a draw against Granada at the Metropolitano . However, Giuliano Simeone was still part of the youth categories and not the first team.
Everything was agreed for him to go out on loan again to Deportivo Alavés , where he left very good impressions last season. It was his good performance at the Paris Olympic Games that convinced the coaching staff to let him stay at Atlético de Madrid and give him a chance. In the first three games he did not play a single minute, enjoying his first great opportunity in the victory against Athletic Club .
Giuliano Simeone is clearly one of the players who generates the most excitement and expectation within the Atlético fans. After the match in Bilbao, a picture began to circulate on social media recalling his first steps in the red-and-white team. Simeone held his youngest son in his arms during his farewell at the Vicente Calderón in 2004.
A family linked to Atlético de Madrid
At that time, the Madrid club had returned to the First Division a few years earlier and Simeone had already made a career in Italian football. In fact, that was the midfielder's second spell at Atlético de Madrid after spells at Inter Milan and Lazio. Simeone said goodbye in front of a packed Vicente Calderón , holding Giuliano Simeone who was wearing the red and white shirt .
Now, exactly 20 years later , both share a squad and will work to bring titles to the Metropolitano 's trophy cabinet. Obviously, there are countless examples of coaches who have given one of their sons the opportunity in the first team of their respective clubs. Giuliano Simeone is eager to prove that he deserves to stay at Atlético de Madrid and his father will not hesitate to help him.
