It would be difficult to explain the impact of Julián Alvarez since his name began to be linked with Atlético de Madrid. The Argentine striker has been one of the big surprises in the last transfer market, managing to land at the Metropolitano. For now, the former Manchester City player has not been able to make his debut in the Atlético shirt, but he has left good impressions.
Yesterday, Julián Alvarez arrived at the Argentine national team's training camp along with the rest of the red-and-white players called up by Scaloni . The September break will serve the world champion to clear his mind and demonstrate his great goal-scoring instinct . Although he has not yet scored, Simeone has already given him three starts in the first four games played this season.
Julian Alvarez wants to break the wall
It is undeniable that the Argentine striker has generated a lot of excitement among the red-and-white fans after his arrival at Atlético de Madrid. Few could have imagined that his signing would end up becoming a reality in a market where there was a lot of work. Obviously, the sporting management has had to pay a world star price, exactly what Julián Alvarez is .
The former Manchester City player landed in the Spanish capital without playing any friendlies and with very few training sessions under his belt. However, Simeone gave him the opportunity to make his debut against Villarreal and to start in the rest of the matches that have taken place. For the moment, although he has had several chances in his boots, he has not been able to find the net with the Atletico jersey.
As usual, numerous rumours and criticisms have begun to emerge regarding the numbers that the Argentine player is putting up. However, neither Simeone nor Atlético de Madrid have any doubts about the great player they have signed and that he will end up giving his best version. Once the September break is over, Julián Alvarez will have a new opportunity to make his debut against Valencia.
Undisputed for Scaloni
Before his signing became a reality, everyone knew that he was not a player who had stood out for his great numbers in front of goal. In fact, both at River Plate and at Manchester City , he has not been a centre forward on a regular basis, also playing as a extrem. In the case of the Argentine national team, the position in which Julián Alvarez has convinced Scaloni the most in recent years is leading the attack.
He was able to take the starting spot from Lautaro Martínez at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which the Albiceleste would end up winning after defeating France in the grand final. Since then, any starting team that Scaloni has used in important matches has had the presence of Julián Alvarez . This first break in September will serve to clear his head and demonstrate the great level that he will be capable of reaching this season at Atlético de Madrid .
