Diego Simeone and Atlético de Madrid did not give in. Despite the XXL pressure put by FC Barcelona to recruit Julian Alvarez, the Colchoneros never opened the door to a departure. But yesterday, the Madrid coach somewhat surprised everyone.
Before the reception of Malaga at the Metropolitano, El Cholo had taken care not to play Alvarez, in order to avoid the bronca of his audience. Despite everything, the Rojiblancos fans did not stop insulting the Argentinian last night, notably calling him a “son of a bitch…”. Asked to react to these insults, Simeone simply replied: “I have a lot of respect for our supporters”. Julian Alvarez must have appreciated it.
