Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has defended Julian Alvarez following the 2-1 defeat by Barcelona.
Fanat.az reports that the comments were published by ESPN.
Although the Argentine forward failed to convert several clear-cut chances, he provided the assist for his side’s only goal. Simeone said he was pleased with his performance:
“Julian had a good game. He was involved in three attacking moves and also provided an assist. We all wanted him to score. But he is an excellent footballer, we love him and we will wait for him. We need Julian Alvarez at his best to achieve our aims. Otherwise, we will not be able to do so.
Simeone also praised his team’s overall performance and stressed that Barcelona had made better use of their chances despite creating fewer opportunities.
