Julian Alvarez Will Seek to Break His Goal Drought With Atlético Madrid Against Barcelona, Diego Simeone Trusts in the Forward’s Abilities
The Atletico Madrid forward will look to shake off the goal drought against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey
The drought that has lasted more than 100 days
Julían Álvarez will seek to break his 100-day goal drought against Hansi Flick's Barcelona this Thursday in the Copa del Rey. The Argentina international is going through a tough time since his arrival at Atlético de Madrid; the Spider has not been able to score in over three months with the Red and White. The last goal the number 19 scored was against Sevilla from a penalty. Since that match, the goals have eluded the forward, preventing him from scoring and ending this bad streak.
Simeone is confident about the forward
Simeone, the Argentine coach of Atlético Madrid, has been quick to defend the forward, speaking about his quality as a player and expressing confidence that the forward will come through for the team in important moments that may come later in the year and the season.
Julian's Journey
Julian has recently been a revelation and a surprise player in the Qatar World Cup where he became a world champion, also after solid seasons at Manchester City sharing the front line with the Norwegian Haaland, scoring 36 goals with the Citizens, a mark he has surpassed since he arrived at Cholo Simeone's team, adding 40 goals and 13 assists in 88 matches with the Rojiblanco jersey. However, this drought the player is experiencing in his career raises the question of how long it will last and if he will be able to break it against Barcelona.
