🚨Diego Forlan on Gil Marín saying Álvarez made Atlético look small publicly:
🗣“Honestly, it sounds ridiculous coming from Gil Marín. He and the Atlético board have made the club look small themselves.
If the situation had been handled properly from the beginning, it would never have reached this point. Their decisions didn’t protect Atlético’s image,they made the club look insecure, petty and unnecessarily stubborn.
If a player publicly says he wants to leave, a big club looks for a solution. You negotiate, find the best outcome for everyone and move forward. Instead, Atlético allowed the situation to become a public mess.
And then you have the club publicly posting Raphinha and Yamal with incorrect information alongside their photos on their own platform. That is not how a serious club should operate. They were lucky the players didn’t take legal action over their image rights.
So before saying Alvarez made Atletico look small, Gil Marín should look at how the club itself handled this situation.”
Julian Alvarez has thought me a valuable lesson, never rush to sign those papers if you are not sure that is exactly what you want for yourself
Some deals are like traps
