He has not yet scored his first goal in the Atletico Madridbut Diego Simeone and all the Atlético fans should not worry. The time will come Julian Alvarez. It’s just a matter of waiting. For now, he has just given the Argentine National Team a great signal, a brutal goal, worth collecting.
Julián scored the second goal in the 3-0 against Chile in the South American Qualifiers. He did it with a stunning left-footed shot from outside the area, which hit the crossbar and bounced in. It was so spectacular that the Spider did not notice what he had done at the time: “When I hit it, I saw that the ball hit the crossbar, but I thought it hadn’t gone in, that it had bounced out. Huevo Acuña told me it had been a goal.”
It was Julián Alvarez’s first goal playing for Argentina at the Monumental stadium. It was his tenth goal for the Albiceleste. He now has 4 in World Cups, 2 in Copa América, 2 in Qualifiers and 2 in friendlies. La Araña spoke of the great moment Argentina is enjoying: “What we have been doing is very nice. The people make us feel that. A very nice connection was created. We had a great time. The group is getting stronger. That’s why we enjoyed it so much.” And he referred to Tuesday’s game against Colombia, away from home: “It’s going to be very tough.”
