Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has publicly named Julian Alvarez as the club’s best player after an impressive performance that helped the team secure a crucial 3-2 comeback victory against Rayo Vallecano. The Argentine forward scored a dramatic hat-trick that revived Atletico’s campaign earlier this week at the Metropolitano Stadium.
Simeone praised Alvarez’s influence on the pitch, emphasizing that the club must protect and nurture the young striker to maximize his potential. “Julian is the best player we have,” Simeone said after the win. “We need to take care of him and ensure that he remains here for many years to come. He has to help us, and we have to help him become even better.”
The victory was Atletico’s second win of the La Liga season, lifting them to ninth position in the early standings. Alvarez’s goalscoring heroics stopped a run of poor results and provided a much-needed boost to a team desperate for consistency.
Simeone expressed his desire to have Alvarez stay at Atletico Madrid despite speculation linking the forward with a move to Barcelona. The coach believes that Alvarez is the driving force behind Atletico’s attacking play and a vital figure for their ambitions this season.
This endorsement from Simeone underscores how key Alvarez is to Atletico’s plans going forward, with the coach pledging full support for the striker’s development and well-being. As Atletico look to climb the La Liga table, Alvarez’s form could prove pivotal in their quest for success.
