Julián Álvarez: “Let’s hope this is the start of a good run” | OneFootball

Julián Alvarez, MVP of Atlético de Madrid, analyzed the victory, with another high score, now in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt. A day in which he assisted in two goals and sealed the win with a penalty with suspense, in a panenka style.

GREAT MOMENT FOR THE TEAM

“We are doing very well, with a very good streak at home. We needed it, after a start to the season where results weren't going our way. The performance was good, we created many chances but we lacked effectiveness. In these three home games, we managed it, we are very happy. We have to keep on this path.”

WHAT CHANGED TO IMPROVE?

“From the start of the season, we were doing well in terms of performance. Although there are things to improve, we created situations but lacked effectiveness, which is why we had some results where we drew or lost. But looking at the statistics, we are one of the teams that creates the most chances in Europe. We just needed to score, as happened in these two games.”

ADAPTATION OF THE NEW SIGNINGS

“Many new guys in the team, last year we also struggled to start and then we had a streak of 15 games won. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a good streak like that one. The team presses well, everyone is adapting, especially the new additions. We are creating many chances. We have to continue with this work to keep doing great things.”

PENALTY WITH SUSPENSE

“I was calm. I can't do anything, I wanted to shoot in the middle, it went to the side, but luckily it was a goal.”

JULIÁN ALVAREZ'S CEILING

“I don't set a ceiling for myself, I always try to work daily to be a better player, to help the team. Then the work is reflected, if you do things well, I think things will go well for you, I have to keep on this path.”
