Atlético de Madrid are preparing for tomorrow's match against Girona with an important new addition, according to the line-ups selected by Diego Simeone . The most eagerly awaited debut for Atlético fans is just around the corner. Julián Álvarezis set to be part of the starting eleven, finally making his debut at home, at the Civitas Metropolitano.
The signing of the Argentine raised a lot of hope among the red and white fans, who consider it a high-level signing. He comes from Manchester City , he is a world champion, a European champion, an American champion and an English champion. He won absolutely everything he played in. Nothing more could be asked for, except that he is now capable of winning it with the red and white shield.
The time has come
On the 19th he will have his debut in front of his fans, who already went crazy just by a little while of the "Calchín spider" in the presentation. Julián Álvarez won everyone over with his simplicity and his friendliness, in a public completely devoted to the Argentine. They came from all over Spain and some even wore the River Plate shirt, remembering their best times in Argentina .
Julián Álvarez is happy with the change, and it shows, he feels supported in Madrid and has his whole family with him. It is a city that will give itself over to its new idol and will break its hands to applaud him. He has never played at the Civitas Metropolitano , in fact, the Argentine player himself commented that it is the first time he has stepped foot there, a stadium that will now be his.
Simeone was very important
Diego Pablo Simeone had a lot to do with his signing, he was the key person, the one who insisted the most on his arrival. Through his own calls and through his children, who were his teammates, he influenced those he led, such as Nahuel Molina and Rodrigo Javier de Paul . They all contributed their grain of sand to make the dream come true.
The striker has already played his first minutes as a red-and-white player in Villarreal , although he had hardly had any contact with the team. Despite this, Diego Pablo Simeone gave him the chance to make his debut and to get into the swing of things. Much is expected of him, so much so that there is already a “Julian mania” among Atlético de Madrid fans.
19 fever
His shirt is by far the most popular; the number 19 can be seen everywhere, whether it's the home shirt or the reserve shirt. The little ones have already adopted Julián Álvarez as their idol and role model. His nickname also creates a sense of closeness, many see him as a simple boy and the "spider" thing is loved, especially by the little ones.
Antoine Griezmann will be his partner in attack, the duo that many dreamed of seeing will become a reality. The Frenchman is in the midst of what could be his last season as a Atlético player and he wants to do it in style. Although he still has a contract until 2026, he will be the one to make the decision of when he should leave the club.
