In the 16th round of Serie A, Verona fell behind home team Venice 3-0 in the first half, almost tantamount to being betrayed to death.
In the second half, Verona's forward thigh Giovanni Simeone led the team to blow the counter-attack horn, and the Argentine first calmly picked out the equalizer in 67 minutes, and then reversed the score before the end of the game, which was the first time in Verona's 118 team history that they fell behind by three goals in Serie A.
10 appearances contributed 9 goals and 2 assists to the team, consecutively broke through the goals of Juve, Napoli and Lazio's three former Serie A champions, staged a senior year, held the top of the top scorer list, and won the best player of the October in Serie A, this dazzling performance also amazed the world: "Look, this is the son of Diego Simeone." ”
"Iron must be hard, it must first be tempered by fire" This was once the signature of little Simone on social media.
Verona had a bad start, losing all three rounds of the league, leading to an early change of coach.
In the first game after the new coach took office, Simeone Jr. won 64 minutes of playing time against Roma, and although he failed to score, he gave the team an assist through the pressing of the front and the almost crazy wide-range running, which made the team full of vitality for many years of offensive weakness.
Although little Simone did not inherit his father's character, he did inherit an indomitable soul in the face of adversity.
