Argentina doesn’t lose if Simeone scores
Diego Simeone is already emotional. No matter how Atletico Madrid plays under his coaching, he reacts on the field. Sometimes, the level of emotion increases even more in press conferences. He even cries with great emotion.
Simeone may still be crying after watching that goal. Those tears are definitely of joy and pride. You can understand which goal he is talking about!
Argentina just played child’s play with Brazil today in the World Cup qualifier match at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. The world champions won 4-1. But if asked, which is the most beautiful and spectacular goal of the match – everyone will say the name of Juliano Simeone. Yes, Diego Simeone’s younger son Juliano Simeone scored his first goal in the Argentina jersey today. Juliano replaced Thiago Almada, the hero of Argentina’s previous match against Uruguay. That goal came in the 68th minute and came in the 71st minute. Juliano received the ball in the space on the right side of the box from Nicolas Tagliafico’s pass. But it was not easy to put the ball into the net from a difficult angle. Juliano did the difficult task perfectly. With the goal of 22-year-old Juliano, the Simeone family has also set a new record in this century. This is the second time that at least three members of one family have scored for the Argentine national team. The first time this happened was in the first decade of the 20th century. The four brothers of the famous Brown family, Alfredo, Ernesto, Eliseo and Jorge, scored in the Albiceleste jersey during that time.
However, the Simeone family has set a unique record in one place. More precisely, it has kept the record intact throughout the generations. Argentina has never lost a match in which the Simeoneras have scored in the Argentine jersey! Before Juliano Simeone, his older brother Giovanni Simeone scored in the Argentine jersey. The goal was again in his debut match. Argentina won a friendly match against Guatemala in September 2018, 3-0. Like Juliano, Giovanni’s goal was also the last goal of the match.
Giovanni, 29, currently plays for Italian club Napoli. He played the last of his six matches for Argentina in June 2023. He scored only one goal.
