Rubén Uría reacts to Pablo Barrios's comments on the wearing Julián Álvarez saga

Speaking to RNE, Pablo Barrios admits he is fed up with everything revolving around Julián Álvarez.

Rubén Uría highlights one of the key moments from Pablo Barrios's interview with Radio Nacional de España, the Spanish public broadcaster: how repetitive the press has been over the Julián Álvarez situation.

Barrios was clear: personally, he is very tired of it. He understands why the Argentine was talked about in the summer, given all the fuss there was, but at this stage of the season he finds it tiresome that everything Julián does is used to bring the subject back up. When it is put to him that people seem to be waiting for Julián to slip up, he replies that the same happens with Julián and with everyone: whenever someone does something, they get stick for it, and that is just how the football world works.

Uría singles out that closing reflection and concludes that Barrios is right. He points out that the player rarely gives interviews, that he does not seem especially comfortable with journalists, and that this is logical and understandable.
