Yesterday afternoon the mattress expedition began its trip to Hong Kong ahead of the match against Kirchee this Wednesday, August 7. The novelty in the call was the absence of Antoine Griezmann in the expedition, which he clarified in a video that it was because he is following a specific physical plan.
The additions from the Copa América have remained exercising at Cerro del Espino: Jose María Giménez, Rodrigo De Paul and Nahuel Molina. New signings Alexander Sørloth and Robin Le Normand have been added to the South Americans, who are beginning to enter into group dynamics. However, there has also been some 'new-old' good news after Giuliano Simeone was added to the group.
El Cholito waiting to resolve his future
Once the Olympic Games were over for the Argentine National Team after the controversial elimination against France, the forward born in Rome has returned. A match, the quarterfinals of the Games, that raised acrimony from the senior teams of both nations. A pitched battle that would demonstrate how once again football is far from that 'Olympic Spirit' that exists in so many other sports.
Olympic scandals aside, Giuliano is still waiting to return to the club where he played last year. Alavés hopes that he will be part of their squad for this season , as we reported a few months ago here, at EstoEsAtleti. The reasons are several.
Back to Alavés
The relationship between clubs is very good and the player needs minutes to continue growing. If he stayed at Atlético de Madrid, he would have practically no minutes after the incorporation of Alexander Sørloth and with Ángel Correa and Antoine Griezmann in the team. If we add to this the more than possible arrival of another forward like Julián Álvarez , we already have all the positions covered.
Furthermore, Luis García Plaza, coach of the babazorro team, loves him and wishes him. Last year, despite the serious injury that left him without playing for much of the season, he pleasantly convinced the coach. Not to mention a hobby that he has in his pocket with his physical display and intensity with which he plays each ball.
Your father will be important in the decision you make
Like any child, it is always good to listen to the parent who has more experience in this and in this case it is no less. Diego Pablo Simeone already advised him to go to Alavés last year and it seems that the decision this year will continue along the same path.
It is true that there is a minimal possibility that it will end up staying. In any case, if Julián Álvarez arrives or Samu Omorodion stays, he has no place anywhere. So it is most likely that what we indicated at the beginning of the article will end up happening.
