🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on the tense situation between Julián Álvarez, Atlético Madrid and the fans
🗣️"Are we supposed to sympathize with him for sitting there sulking because the fans are giving him a hard time. Do you think he’s the first superstar to get booed by his own crowd? Nonsense. Look at La Liga history—Cristiano Ronaldo got whistled at the Bernabéu. Gareth Bale got stick. Antoine Griezmann had the entire Metropolitano turning on him. Top players get booed when the fans feel you’re not committed. End of story.
You don't go around letting a transfer saga ruin your career. Atlético Madrid shelled out nearly €100 million for him. They gave him the main stage, the spotlight, and the platform away from Manchester City where he was living in Haaland's shadow. Have some respect for the football club that broke the bank for you, put the shirt on, and do your job.
What he needs to do now isn't talking to agents or crying to the media. You step onto that pitch, you put your head down, and you remind those 70,000 people exactly what you’re capable of. You show them the talent, the hunger, and the World Cup-winning quality.
Because let me tell you the reality of modern football: if he forces a move to Arsenal or Barcelona right now, the pressure doesn't disappear. The second he has two bad games or misses a big chance, the media will tear into him, the story will follow him, and he’ll be in the exact same spot. Stop worrying about what's next. Go out there, prove yourself on the grass, win the fans back, and earn your keep."
@TUFFO13@MotivacionesF Yeah this is professional football and you signed a contract till 2030 understanding that atletico wants to create a project for you. And you completely disrespected the club by trying to use them to catapult yourself to Barcelona
@abuchanxcrypto @atletiuniverse@MatteMoretto@marca You been begging for alvarez the entire summer 😂, and yall are going to end up not having a single striker with ferran leaving to PSG.
@NoviltioRafi@Bri_an2 They ask for that much because thats the release clause idiot!!! They dont want to sell him! So if you want him pay the release clause 😂. And i agree haaland is by far the better striker and worth over 200M. Julian not so much.
@Abbatiey34@BouafifNour Ive been asking the same question to these barcelona fans who create this delusion in their head that its only about their club 😂.
@ArjunDhima30014 @LamineYamalIG @atletiuniverse But we’d be strengthening our rivals as well? So would it really be a win for atletico if a top tier striker went to barca from atletico?
@idk1826277272 @LamineYamalIG @atletiuniverse I mean Barcelona want to “ pay 100Mill max “ and they wont pay it all forward rather they’d send it of installments till 2090 😂
