Diego Simeone has called for calm after Julian Alvarez’s wasteful display in Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to Barcelona. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that Alvarez had a good game, Simeone stated that despite missing a few clear chances to seal the victory for Atletico, the World Cup winner was very involved in several attacking plays.
The Argentine manager added that his team lost because his players weren’t as clinical as Barcelona on the night.
His words, “Julian had a good game.
As well as the chances he had, he was also involved in several other attacking moves.
On top of setting up Giuliano’s goal, he also delivered a cross for [an Alex] Baena [chance].
We all wanted him to get that goal, but we’ll be patient with him because he’s a great player.
We love him and, if we’re going to achieve what we want to achieve, we need Julian at his best – otherwise we won’t get there.
On this occasion, we were not as clinical as we have been on other days. Barça are very good in that sense.
They had fewer clear chances, but were clinical with the ones they had.”
