Julián Álvarez’s goal 50 seconds into the match for Atlético de Madrid against Real Sociedad

Julián Álvarez’s goal with Atlético de Madrid after 50 seconds

After being one of the novels of the transfer market and despite not having started perfectly with Atlético de Madrid, Julián Álvarez is beginning to straighten his course with the red and white shirt and scored a goal again. On this occasion, it was in the corresponding match on date nine of La Liga against Real Sociedad, when the kickoff had taken place only 50 seconds earlier.

At dawn of the match that was taking place at the Anoeta stadium, Colchonero hit a Real team from the locker room that had started with the ball at its feet. After recovering the ball in the middle of the field, the visitor took a counter lead by Antoine Griezmann.

The Frenchman cleaned up the play to the left and already moved forward in search of spaces in the defense of his former team. Javi Galán detected the movement of the number seven and threw a pass over the center backs’ backs, which the attacker resolved with subtlety and elegance. After superb first-class control in the area, he threw a heel that dislocated the entire defense and left Julián facing the goal.

Álvarez placed the ball with his right foot and shot with his left foot in a cross and low shot. Faced with the Argentine’s powerful shot, Alejandro Remiro threw himself to the ground but could not stop the ball from hitting the net and establishing the score at 1-0 after 50 seconds of play.

The Córdoban’s first goal at Aleti had come in a very similar way, since his assist was the same. This happened a few weeks ago against Valencia, when Griezmann launched a punctured cross into the area that was pushed by the Argentine in the 3-0 win by Diego Simeone’s team.

Despite the three goals scored by the world champion, his stay in Madrid did not start in the best way and there was strong speculation about his presence at Atleti. Matías Palacios, an Argentine journalist who works in Spain, told of a curious situation that he observed between La Araña and Cholo during the match against Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish League. “Julián played as a midfielder on the left giving a hand to the 3 for the return and, at a particular moment, Giuliano Simeone is going to enter for (Alexander) Sorloth, so Julián, I am looking at him from the front, I see that Julián is looking at Simeone (father) and starts walking to find himself alone at 9 because Giuliano came in, Sorloth came out and said ‘I’m going at 9’,” he said in dialogue with Radio La Red.

“Simeone, desperate, gestures for him to stay on the left and Giuliano enters.” From then on, Julián was not the same: “He canceled it, he didn’t play anymore, he became demoralized. It was like that, it didn’t appear on television, anywhere. Giuliano came in and sent him to the 9-year-old son. In parentheses, the son is not bad, he is a good soccer player,” the journalist continued about the position that Cholo had taken.

These criticisms were felt in the Spanish media, as they increased after the irregular start by Atlético de Madrid. Despite not convincing from the game captured on the pitch. In the UEFA Champions League, they have just suffered a very tough defeat in Portugal against Benfica (4 to 0).
