Alejandro Moreno

First touch forward, laces through the ball.

There wasn't ever a doubt or I'm just gonna massage this or I'm just gonna make sure that it goes on target.

No, at this point, I'm getting my legs behind and my laces behind and my whole body into it.

And he scores a great goal.

So it tells me that...

I think the last answer that he had there, he said something about he was feeling a little bit better.

And I think that's how it works with strikers.

That even though you're not scoring the goals, you start feeling a whole lot better about your play, your general play.

You start feeling better about yourself in training.

You're seeing the ball going into the back of the net with a lot more consistency in training.

And then you have to tell yourself and convince yourself that it's only a matter of time.

But what I like about it is

He missed an earlier chance, an easier chance, and yet that didn't affect his play.

Then the next time the ball came to him, he was able to find Luckman for the assist.

Again, his general play not affected by missing a chance.

And then the next sequence in the attack, he scores his goal.

Not affected by missing a chance.

It tells you about the maturity and the growth of a player and Julián Álvarez.

In my estimation, when I evaluate Atletico Madrid, he is their best player, their elite player.

They have a bunch of guys that are really good players, but he is the one that can take them to a different level.
