Diego Simeone Celebrates Son Giuliano's First Atletico Goal
Atletico Madrid's head coach, Diego Simeone, expressed his pride and satisfaction after his son, Giuliano Simeone, scored his first goal for the club during their 2-0 LaLiga victory over Las Palmas on Sunday. The 21-year-old’s goal not only marked a personal milestone but also served as a significant boost for Atletico, who are striving to regain momentum following a recent setback against Real Betis.
After the match, Diego Simeone praised his son's dedication and hard work, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement in a professional environment. "He's working well, he's training well... it's important for his growth. As long as there is humility, the heart always responds," he stated in an interview with Movistar. He also credited Nahuel Molina’s assist for Giuliano's goal, highlighting the collaborative nature of team success.
Despite the familial connection, Diego made it clear that he does not view Giuliano any differently than other players in the squad. "He did what he had to do, that's why he is at Atletico," he said. "He has a responsibility that has no name; they are all footballers. Those who run play, and those who run less, play less." This approach underscores Simeone's philosophy of meritocracy and hard work, reinforcing that every player must earn their spot based on performance and effort.
The coach's sentiments were echoed by Atletico midfielder Koke, who also praised Giuliano’s development, especially considering the young forward’s challenging journey back from a serious injury that left him with a broken leg last year. Koke remarked, "I've known him since he was very young and I'm happy to see his progress, especially after his serious injury last season. He's showing that he has the level to be with us and compete and score goals."
Looking ahead, Atletico Madrid is set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday. This upcoming match presents another opportunity for Giuliano and his teammates to demonstrate their capabilities on a prestigious stage. The team's current form, including Giuliano’s promising performances, offers a sense of optimism as they aim to solidify their standing in both domestic and European competitions. With this blend of young talent and experienced leadership, Atletico is poised for an exciting season ahead.
