Alexander Sorloth was presented this Wednesday in a very emotional event. Enrique Cerezo , who began the event with the corresponding welcome to the player, did not forget the presence of the Norwegian's newborn daughter. His little girl, together with his wife, were the fundamental pillars of the new "9" from Atlético.
He also took the opportunity to highlight the importance of the arrival of Alexander Sorloth , being the first Norwegian to wear the red and white of Atletico . In this way, Enrique Cerezo showed himself very attached to the footballer, making it clear that, despite the signings of Julián and Le Normand , Sorloth is also very important.
And we must not forget that he arrives with the aim of replacing Alvaro Morata . The Spaniard, after winning the European Championship , closed his transfer to AC Milan once the Italians paid his release clause. A loss that set off alarm bells at Atletico , who after failing to sign Dovbyk , managed to close Alexander Sorloth .
LANGUAGE, HIS MAIN HANDICAP
Although Alexander Sorloth has been in Spain for several years after his time at Real Sociedad and Villarreal , he did not want to be encouraged to hold the event in Spanish. He did do so to give his first words of the event, before answering the journalists in English.
His statements made clear the kind of person and footballer he is, presenting himself as a competitive person who, regardless of the numbers, does not want to contribute in any way to his teammates. And according to the answers he gave to EstoesAtleti, despite the fact that he was very close to being the top scorer in LaLiga last season, his goal is to help.
Finally, Enrique Cerezo proceeded to give him the shirt with the number nine on the back. So, it is only a matter of time before we see Alexander Sorloth playing an official match in L aL iga. It will be against Villarreal , in his old stadium, where the Norwegian will defend the Atlético de Madrid shield for the first time.
