Simeone's Stern Warning to Julian Alvarez!

Waters are not settling at Atletico Madrid after they drew away with Villarreal in the first week of the Spanish La Liga. The capital team's legendary head coach, Diego Simeone, evaluated the team's overall game at the post-match press conference and targeted the performance of Argentine star Julian Alvarez, who was transferred from Manchester City with great hopes and a massive fee. Using very clear expressions for Alvarez, who fell far below expectations, Simeone said, "Julian Alvarez definitely did not have a good game on the pitch today. Unfortunately, this is definitely not the type of performance we need and desire from him." Drawing attention to the barrenness in the team's attacking organizations, the Argentine manager said, "The deficiencies I see on the pitch make me think. The only thing I am sure of and can say clearly right now is that if we want to win trophies and reach our goals, we urgently need another finishing forward who will produce scores." This harsh outburst by Simeone was interpreted in the Spanish press as the biggest proof that Atletico Madrid will start searching for a new striker in the final days of the transfer window.
