It is no surprise that the Simeone family has been closely linked to Atlético de Madrid for 30 years. Beyond Diego Pablo Simeone's time as coach, all of his children have always been very supportive of the red-and-white team. The middle child, Gianluca, has spoken in an interview with Rafa Mainez about his opinion of the Atlético fans.
The current Rayo Majadahonda striker has always publicly shown himself to be a staunch fan of the club from Madrid. The Argentine has not hesitated to praise a fan base that is in the spotlight after what happened on Sunday. Right now, his desire is to find consistency after having played for numerous clubs in recent years.
Gianluca Simeone talks about Atletico Madrid
Simeone's middle son is currently playing for Rayo Majadahonda in what is one of his many adventures in Spain. So far, Gianluca has had minutes at six clubs , although without finding regularity in any of them. Taking advantage of an interview with Rafa Mainez , the Argentine wanted to praise and make a comparison about the red-and-white fans .
“Very similar to the Argentine fan , he is there in good times and bad,” explained Simeone’s son about the Atlético de Madrid fan. “It doesn’t matter how many Champions Leagues he has won, he will always support the team,” Gianluca concluded in his explanation. Right now, all of Spain is very interested in the colchoneros after what happened in the derby against Real Madrid .
The Government has already made it clear that it will propose a very severe and exemplary sanction for that area of the stadium. In addition, any type of sanction for Thibaut Courtois is ruled out, something that Simeone hinted at in the last press conference. All the gestures and exchanges of words that the Belgian goalkeeper had with the fans seem to be kept in a drawer and without punishment .
A family linked to football
The middle son of the red-and-white coach is having a lot of trouble finding a place in a club, despite being 26 years old . So far, he has played for six professional teams, with CD Tudelano being where he has performed best. This season he is wearing the Rayo Majadahonda shirt and has managed to score a goal in five games played.
Obviously, he is far from the success that his brothers are reaping, as Giovanni Simeone is still at Napoli, where he won the Serie A. For his part, Giuliano is part of the first team of Atlético de Madrid and has already had many minutes during the current season. The only thing that is clear and that affects the entire Simeone family is their great passion for football and their enormous affection for the Madrid club .
