The name of Álvaro Morata has been one of the most talked about names this summer in Atlético de Madrid. The Madrid striker, now a player for AC Milan, sparked controversy with his statements during the European Championship. He said that players are not treated well in Spain and that he saw that Atleti wanted too many forwards.
After hinting that he wanted to leave, he posted a post in which he expressed his desire to win titles with the red-and-whites. This dispelled the rumours of his departure for a few days, until it was leaked that he was negotiating a move to Milan. This caused quite a bit of criticism from Atlético de Madrid fans, who felt betrayed by the Spaniard.
Another contradiction of Morata
After announcing his departure from Atlético Madrid, Morata said: "For me, winning the Euros is winning a title with Atleti. I feel that is the case and I am leaving this club proud of it." However, at his presentation with his new club, he completely contradicted himself.
"No team has ever wanted me as much, I already felt like a Milan player during the Euros. The manager, the club and Ibra have shown me that they believe in me. I don't care how many goals I score, all I want is to win titles here."
These words have generated a lot of controversy among the red-and-white fans, who feel cheated by the Spanish striker. Despite saying weeks ago that the Euros were like a title with Atleti, he now declares that throughout the competition he felt like a Milan player. This is not the first time that Morata has contradicted himself in a presentation with a new team.
The famous words of Morata
Morata has had many viral moments as a player, both on and off the pitch. His famous words at his presentations add to the contradiction mentioned above. Let's remember that when he played for Madrid he spoke of the white club as the club of his life.
Later, at Chelsea, he said that it was a club he had dreamed of playing for since he was a child. He later repeated these same words at Juventus in Turin to finally describe Atleti as the club of his dreams.
