Giuliano Simeone knocks the door: summer with the first team

Giuliano Simeone was 9 years old when his father, Diego Pablo, signed for Atlético as coach, in December 2011. Eight years later he was the youngest of the children that Cholo had with his first wife, the Argentine model Carolina Baldini, I undertook that trip without a return ticket: Argentina-Spain. Pearl already in River Plate, a club that, by the way, got angry at his hasty departure and “without permission”, arrived at the Junior Division of Honor and very soon got rid of that of playing for Atleti because of his surname. He does it in his own right, even though his last name is Simeone.

In fact, he brings together everything that he did differently from his father. Claw, instinct, character. Forward, very soon he stood out in that team. And he began to climb steps in the quarry. His debut with the rojiblanco subsidiary came last January and could not be better: at 20 seconds, goal (against Poblense). League champion with Juvenil A, he played the Champions Cup and was the author of one of the rojiblancos goals in the quarterfinal tie against Real Madrid. Now go up another step. The rojiblanco club has not turned a deaf ear to his knock on the door.

Soriano, Moreno …

And it is that, for the first time since he trains Atlético, Simeone will have one of his sons at his command: he will be one of the homegrown players called to start the preseason with the first team. Soriano, another of the B's pearls, will accompany you. Like Alberto Moreno. With the Copa América and the Eurocup and Atlético as the LaLiga team that yields the most internationals, Simeone will start working with very few players from the first team (Saúl, Vitolo, Oblak, Savic …) and with that boy who played in some of his father's trainings when he came to visit from Argentina and who now has stripes on his own merits
