Coach Diego Simeone praised the improved performance of Argentine forward Julian Alvarez during Atletico Madrid's last two matches, stating that the player is "returning to the place he has always been."

Simeone pointed out that Álvarez has started to regain his usual scoring form after a period of decline during December and January, emphasizing that the team needs this performance in the current phase of the Spanish league.

The Argentine coach added that he is focusing on the player's performance on the field and not on any future plans or potential transfers, despite media speculation about his future.

Álvarez has a long-term contract with the second club in the Spanish capital until 2030, with a high release clause.

It is noted that this improvement comes ahead of important matches for the team in various tournaments, as Alvarez's return to his natural performance represents a strong boost for Atletico Madrid.
