Academy kid, manager’s son, fan of the club his whole life. Pure passion, you don’t see that often nowadays, every young footballer has ego & are lazy because of money. 💎
🚨 Diego Simeone on accusations of “nepotism” with Giuliano:
“Giuliano belongs to the club; he’s been here since he was 16. The club didn’t spend money to buy a “son”; he was in the academy, went to the Olympic Games, and did well. The coach sees him and believes he can help. He’ll have good games and bad, but he has what it takes.
“I see Giuliano as a football player. Ever since we decided he would stay, it has been the same as with any other player; he can help us. I only think about the team; I don’t think about anyone or anything else. He’s no different because he’s my son.”
“Giuliano did what he needed to do, which is why he’s at Atlético. He has a responsibility; there’s no special treatment, they are footballers. I don’t watch that many stories. Those who run, play; those who run less, play less.”
🗣️ "I think it shown a great deal of disrespect to a Spanish international"
Dougie Critchley discusses Real Madrid's boycott of the Ballon D'or after Rodri was chosen to win the award over Vinicius Jr. 🏆
It’s really that simple, Pep’s spot on here.
Haaland literally won the treble, with a 50 goal season, and came away with nothing.
Same way, Lewandowski won EVERYTHING, outscored everyone by a mile, yet both still lost with dignity and grace.
🚨🚨🎙️| Sergio Aguero on the Ballon d'Or:
“Well deserved. Rodri is the best player in the world. Football is for everyone, not just Real Madrid – they are so entitled...”

Griezmann después de ganar Mundial, Europa League y Supercopa de Europa marcando goles como soles y siendo el mejor de Atlético y Francia no ganó el Balón de Oro
Él ya sabía que no lo iba a ganar y fue a la gala
Cuando pierde, Griezmann sí da la mano. Mucho lema...
Mind you, guy is on one leg, still doesn’t know if he will win or not. And yet he shows up out of respect. Some institution that boasts about “prestige” all year long should learn a thing or two.
