Scaloni backs Julián Álvarez as Rubén Uría hints at news this week
The Argentina coach believes Julián always bounces back and that his goal has given Simeone a helping hand
Rubén Uría predicts news on Julián Álvarez in the coming days
Scaloni is not worried about Julián Álvarez: "they're so good that they always come back." Rubén Uría picks up the thread and predicts there will be news in the coming days about the striker's future with Atlético.
The show revisits Lionel Scaloni's press conference after Argentina's rout, in which the coach spoke about Julián Álvarez's goal and the spell the striker is going through after his failed move to Barcelona. Scaloni made it clear he is not concerned, comparing him to Lautaro: players who can go through a bad patch but who, given their quality, always come back.
The coach added that, for Atlético de Madrid's sake, Julián needs to be at his best, that he looks happy with Argentina and that if this goal has given Simeone a helping hand, so much the better. For Scaloni, he is a player who never disappoints and gives everything, whether he scores or not.
Rubén Uría then takes the floor and, without wanting to open the new season with coded messages, issues a warning: he has a hunch that there will be plenty of talk this week about Julián Álvarez and his future at Atlético, not about a move to another club. He leaves it there, promising to come back to it.
