00:00Julien Alvarez apologized. So, is it sincere? I don't know, but it has
00:03It still deserves to be highlighted.
00:04Finally, I say that, but will it really change much? I don't think so.
00:08You have to know how to read between the lines a little bit, though.
00:10When I see those excuses, I think, yeah, he realized that the big declaration
00:14in the middle of the World Cup, to say
00:16"Yes, a transfer would be great to fulfill my dream." Tiref's implication being Barcelona.
00:20It was very clumsy, but did he factually deny it? No.
00:24I think if it was a passing phase, he would have clearly admitted he'd talked nonsense.
00:28and that, in practical terms, he wanted to stay at the club and make his life at the club.
00:30Well, that's not what we're asking of him, obviously.
00:32But he does not deny that Barça interests him, and even though he apologized, that
00:36Whether sincere or not, this is a subject that will be brought up again this winter, and again.
00:40not this coming summer.
00:41Well, we could say to ourselves, he takes a step towards us, we take a step towards him and all that
00:45The world is happy. So be it.
00:46But I'm going to stick to my position. If he wants to leave, we have to let him leave.
00:49So, maybe he won't be able to go where he wants, because we've had enough
00:52Not last year, we're not going to strengthen a competitor for La Liga.
00:55But as I said, this is a subject that will remain unaddressed in the coming days.
00:58Transfer window.
00:59And since the Apollo acquisition, there is a project that is starting to take shape.
01:02in place at Atletico de Madrid.
01:04And here, it's quite binary. Either he wants to be the figurehead, a bit of a...
01:07that project.
01:08At that point, he'll stay at the club. Either he doesn't want to and he'll leave, I don't know.
01:11Or.
01:12So I'm taking a step back. I still welcome his apology, though.
01:15I'm not going to be stubborn. But he also acts on his words.
