Atletico nggak sepenuhnya salah. Fans yg nge boo di Metropolitano ya wajar aja, karena merasa dikhianati sama pemain yg masih digaji klub dan punya kontrak "legal"
Alvarez masih terikat kontrak panjang sampai 2030, tapi pas pildun dia terang-terangan bilang ke media mau pindah dan semua tau itu ke Barcelona👍
Tapi sekarang framing media, termasuk FT Indo, yg terlalu mendramatisir seolah Alvarez korban dan Atleti yg jahat😭
Padahal di sepakbola yg udah se "modern" ini, kontrak itu nyata, loyalitas fans itu nyata, dan pemain yg buka suara di saat masih digaji ya harus siap terima konsekuensinya.
🗣️ Fernando Torres on Julián Álvarez’s situation at Atlético Madrid:
“The level of hypocrisy from Julián Álvarez and Barcelona is crazy. I honestly don’t understand why he’s playing the victim.”
Let’s be real. Álvarez was a bench player at Manchester City because Erling Haaland had already established himself as the main striker. When Álvarez decided to leave, Atlético Madrid were one of the few top European clubs ready to make a serious move for him — paying around €75 million for his services.
Atlético backed him, built their attack around him and trusted him to be one of the faces of the project. Then, after signing a new contract until 2030, he suddenly wants out because Barcelona are interested? 🤔
Football is a business, not a fairy tale. If Barcelona really want him, then let them pay the €500 million release clause and take him.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t demand loyalty from a club while showing none when a bigger opportunity comes along.
I trust Diego Simeone to handle the situation properly. Atlético invested heavily in Julián Álvarez, and he should respect the club that gave him the platform to become one of their biggest stars.
Football isn’t about emotions. It’s business‼️.
🚨 Diego Simeone on Julian Alvarez:
🗣️“Let me make this very clear. I would rather sell Julian Alvarez to Leganés, Real Betis or even Everton than sell him to another big club.
We rescued this player from Manchester City when he was pushing for a move because he didn’t want to remain below Haaland.
Atlético paid exactly what City demanded. We believed in him, gave him the responsibility and made him one of our most important players.
And now he wants to force a move to one of our biggest rivals?
No chance.
We are not here to strengthen our rivals. Julian is an Atlético player and he is staying with us.
If he wants to leave, he can wait. He is stuck with us.”
🚨🗣️ 🇪🇸 Carles Puyol on what happened when he stopped his teammates from dancing after scoring against Rayo Vallecano:
“For me, it was simply common sense. I am not against dancing after a goal.”
“But it depends on the moment. We were winning 6–0 against a team that had just been relegated, at their home ground.”
“They had said before the match, ‘If I score, you and I will do this dance.’ Tiago scored and started dancing with Dani.”
“I stopped them because I felt it was not appropriate at that moment, considering how difficult the situation was for Rayo, their team and their fans.”
“It was better to show a little more calm and restraint.”
Some women claim they’re not male-centred, yet almost every conversation circles back to men.
If your life is truly fulfilling, why feel the need to keep proving that you don’t need a man?
Why not simply live your life without constantly framing it around one? Weird right.
