Simeone s wonderful hands activated! The transformation of the Club World Cup in Barrios, Atletico Madrid s future core emerges

Atletico Madrid teenager Barrios broke out completely in the Club World Cup against the Seattle Bayerns, and the 22-year-old midfielder scored twice in his career. Recently, this young player Barrios talked about the team's affairs in an interview. Let's take a look together.

He said: His previous experience of red card was not easy, and he even made him "hesitate", but in the end some setbacks "make me stronger." He learned how to adjust his mindset in adversity. Now he seems more confident and decisive on the court.

What is even more exciting is the team ambitions he showed. When it comes to the goals of the new season, this young core is not cowardly: no one comes on the court with the ambition to be third, we want to be the champion! This loud statement clearly conveys Atletico’s locker room’s determination to win the championship. The club also expressed its trust in him with practical actions, and renewed his contract until 2030 as early as May this year.

When asked about the outside world regarding him as the successor of legendary captain Cork, Barrios acted very modestly: Cork is Atletico Madrid's legend, a symbol. I'm proud that people say that, but I just hope to achieve half of his accomplishment. Cork himself joked in the locker room and expressed his expectations for the little brother: "Boy, my position will be yours sooner or later!"

When talking about the team position, he said: When I was a child, I played in all positions. My dislike of the striker is because I feel uncomfortable. But the middle is my favorite place. Now Simeone is asking him to grow in front of the goal.

From the struggle and doubt at the beginning of the season to the radiance of the Club World Cup stage, Barrios completed a beautiful transformation. Simeone's tactical activation, adjustment of his own mentality and determination to fight for the championship have jointly shaped the rise of Atletico Madrid's new generation of midfield core. In the new season, this golden boy, worth 50 million euros, will undoubtedly become the key force for the Bedding Legion to hit higher goals.
