Even with a prestigious surname, it is not always easy to find a place in the world of professional football. This is the bitter experience of Diego Simeone’s son, Giuliano. While he had been successfully loaned to Real Zaragoza by his team Atlético de Madrid in the Spanish second division all last season, the principal concerned was once again loaned by the Colchoneros. Direction Alavés this time for Giuliano Simeone, who had a terrible start with his new club. Indeed, the 20-year-old only started this Sunday during a friendly meeting with his new team.
At the very end of the game, the son of the Atlético coach was mowed down from behind by the opposing defender, Matos, when he had just accelerated on his right flank at the level of the central circle. After this killer tackle, the player writhed in pain on the ground as his left leg formed an angle that left little room for doubt about the severity of his injury. All the players present on the field then asked the healers to intervene quickly. When the match was finally interrupted, Giuliano Simeone left the field in an ambulance to the ovation of the public.
