In the early morning of This morning Beijing time, although Atletico drew 0-0 at home to Granada, completely losing the opportunity to defend the title, Giuliano Simeone, the 19-year-old son of Atletico boss Simeone, made his first-team debut off the bench in the extra time stage of the game. After the game, Simeone, 19, posted photos of himself on social media and wrote: "For me, this is a very special moment, and a moment of my life's dream, the only thing missing is the victory that makes it perfect. Thank you to everyone who helped me make it all happen. ”
Giuliano Simeone played as a striker and scored three goals in 15 games for Atletico B last season. According to Atletico insiders, he revealed to Marca that if Giuliano were not the son of Diego, he would have been promoted to the first team last season. His father's "prestige" facilitated Giuliano's growth and progress, but sometimes it also affected his development. Less than two minutes into the game this morning, Giuliano created a superb free-kick for Atletico, who was yellow carded for bringing down Giuliano. It shows that the momentum of this young player is still quite large, and it is time to raise the first team earlier.
Three sons born to Simeone and his ex-wife are currently playing in Europe. The most famous is of course the eldest son, Giovanni Simeone, born in 1995 and currently plays for Verona, has scored 16 goals in Serie A, becoming the most scoring player in Argentina's five major leagues in Europe this season, but that is, Giovanni Simeone has not been selected for the Argentine national team for a long time, the reason of course is that the performance is not stable.
There may be fans who will say that it is not a one-sentence thing to ask Diego Simeone to call Scaloni and Giovanni to enter the national team! In fact, Diego's character is very good, he has always avoided his relatives, although Giovanni scored a goal, but Atletico just did not sign Giovanni, how can Simeone go the back door for his son's selection for the national team? Not unlikely, absolutely impossible! From the 91st minute of the youngest son's substitute this morning, it can be seen that Diego Simeone's coaching character and quality can be seen.
Of the three sons, only the second son, Giancuca Simeone (24 years old), plays for the football team of Ibiza in Spain's fourth division, which is estimated to be below the level of the Chinese men's national team, and it is impossible to be selected for the Argentine national team. The eldest son, Giovanni, has been selected for the Argentine squad under Scaloni (and has scored 1 goal), and the younger son Giuliano, who made his debut this morning, is the focus of his father's training, and it is likely that he will eventually enter the Argentine national team. Of course, this year's Qatar World Cup, Simeone's son has little chance (Giovanni is still a little hopeful), but the next World Cup, the brothers are very promising to be selected for the national team.
If the Argentine national team can win the World Cup this year, Scaloni will definitely stay in the national team, but if Argentina can't do so, the possibility of Scaloni being dismissed is still very large. At present, argentina has many famous managers, but only two of the most famous coaches in the five major leagues in Europe are Pochettino in Paris and Simeone at Atletico. The level of the Polish coach has always been in doubt, and it is unlikely to take the Argentine national team; and the Argentine national team needs a bloody manager in its bones, and Simeone is the most suitable, so many fans are optimistic that Simeone will eventually take over the coaching whip of the national team.
If Diego Simeone leads Argentina to the next World Cup, his eldest son and younger son will have a chance to be selected for the national team. On the one hand, Giovanni does have a strong ability to seize opportunities in front of goal, and as long as he maintains the efficiency of goals this season, the Argentine Football Association will also advise Simeone to recruit his eldest son. And his youngest son, Diego, has always trained him as a center forward, and the Argentine national team is not lacking in impactful centers?
In the eyes of fans, Simeone is a "bandit marshal", full of blood. The most classic sentence he instilled in his three sons was: "Many things in football can be changed, only hard work and sacrifice are non-negotiable." We can't shame our family, we must run like the Simone family, fight until the final whistle! "In fact, the current Argentine national team, don't you internationals do exactly that? Isn't Simeone's sentence also worth learning from the Chinese men's football team?
