As Miguel Martín Talavera explained on 'El Larguero', the forward "no longer hides from his teammates in the locker room that he made a mistake," both in substance and especially in how he handled everything related to the Catalan club's interest. It's news because, until now, Julián Álvarez hadn't acknowledged this to his teammates. He hadn't put it into words. "He's spoken with his teammates," Talavera explains, "and told them that his commitment to the shirt is total and that, for however long he has left at Atlético de Madrid, whether it's a year, three, or two days... the club comes before everything else." In this regard, Talavera explains that this revelation from the Argentine striker "wipes away any possible act of rebellion," as had been speculated if the club had blocked his desired move to Barça. "He has spoken with his teammates in the last few hours, told them that his commitment to Atlético is above all else, and acknowledges that he made a mistake, particularly in his approach and the way he expressed himself," he adds. However, the journalist who covers Atlético Madrid also points out that this doesn't mean Julián no longer wants to leave Madrid: "I don't think that, just because of this, he woke up today and suddenly didn't want to leave Atlético. I'm not saying that because I don't know if that's the case." What has happened is that the Argentine, given the impasse in his situation and the fact that the weeks keep passing, "is now clear that he won't be transferred to FC Barcelona." "I think he's getting closer to changing his mind," Talavera explains, "considering the criticism he might face in the first few matches at the Metropolitano and that it won't be easy." For all these reasons, Julián is beginning to understand that his future lies "more with Atlético de Madrid than anywhere else."   submitted by   /u/Nepridiprav16 [link]   [comments]
