00:00Giuliano Simeone has extended his contract with Atletico Madrid until 2030, guys!
00:04Before this extension, his contract ran until 2028, but most importantly, a release clause of 500 million euros was added.
00:10That way, absolutely no one will blow it up.
00:12Honestly, it's great because he's 23, he's young, and above all, he's Diego Simeone's son.
00:16And for that reason alone, I'm really happy to have a player like that in the squad.
00:20So obviously, he has footballing qualities, and that's precisely why he's an Atletico Madrid player.
00:24Not everything is based on that, obviously, he's even a player who has flaws, I'm okay with saying that.
00:27But still, having a kid who is the coach's son, but who has especially climbed all the ranks at the club, who then extends his contract,
00:33Atletico is not the best training club in Europe, far from it, we don't produce a huge number of great players from the training center.
00:38So having a player that you've shaped from A to Z like that is a pleasure.
00:41Especially for the angry people who kept explaining that, I don't know,
00:43Juliano Simeone was given special treatment because he is the coach's son, etc.
00:47That's why he plays. No, actually, that shows a lack of understanding of Diego Simeone.
00:51I can assure you that Giuliano had to go through more than the others to earn his place in the squad.
00:55Firstly, because those who follow Atletico know that he's not the most technically gifted player in the squad,
01:00but he is a player who will compensate enormously with his running volume, his sprints, etc.
01:05Finally, athletically, he's a monster.
01:06And Diego Simeone, for sure, has taught him over the years to give his all, etc.
01:11He has perhaps produced the most Cholo-compatible player on the planet of football.
01:14In any case, he's been making his mark for a year and a half now, really.
01:16He arrived through the back door because he started with the youth categories.
01:19He was loaned to Zaragoza, he was loaned to the jacket.
01:22And he arrived a little bit through the back door 18 months ago, we didn't necessarily expect to see him play so much.
01:26Except that he has taken an important place in the squad, even if he is not always, always a starter.
01:30Last year, he played 50 matches, scored 5 goals, and provided 9 assists.
01:33But above all, he has become an important player for Atletico Madrid.
