00:11I am proud to be a Simeone. I remember my dad more from watching him in videos than seeing
00:20him live. Being there to represent the Argentina national team in so many matches. Playing
00:30for the national side, captaining the team. And from what I saw and also from what he tells
00:39me, always giving 110%, always giving his all for the team and his teammates.
00:52Argentina is always a family. It's a dream come true to be here at the World Cup. It's
01:05the ultimate achievement for a footballer. It's all I've ever wanted to do since I started
01:13playing football as a little boy. What a photo. Just recently, we've also got a group chat
01:27with my brothers. My dad sent some photos to the group too. I used to tell him that obviously
01:34I look better than him. But honestly, seeing this photo fills me with pride.
01:45He sent me a message just today, but it's a piece of advice, I suppose. I imagine it's
01:51just like any dad whose son is about to play in a World Cup, telling me to leave everything
01:55on the pitch for the shirt, and to always give my all for the guy next to me.
02:06For Atletico, I have the name Giuliano on my shirt, so that I can forge my own path.
02:14But I've always told my family that I'm going to try to take the surname to the very top.
02:21And that if I ever get to play for the Argentina national team, representing our country, I'll
02:28have Simeone on my shirt, so that they can be proud.
