00:00I'm very happy, very excited to be here, how I've been received in the city, in the club, so I'm very happy and with very high expectations.
00:21From the first moment, many messages, many things from the fans. As I said, as soon as I arrived at the airport, there was a lot of people doing the studies, here outside the stadium too, so that's very nice for a good start and then it's up to me to show on the pitch.
00:46Araña has been with me since I was very young, from the age of three or four, playing with my brothers and some friends. From a young age, from one day to the next, they started calling me that and all the people in the town always called me Araña.
01:04It was very normal for me because maybe they called me Julián and I didn't even think about it, so now it's forever, it's my nickname since I was very young, so let's continue with that.
01:14Antoine and Juliano have been the ones who have sent me the most messages almost every day, Rodri de Paul too, I also spoke with Nahuel, so they were very attentive.
01:31I will try to give my best to find my best version as a footballer, to help the team win and leave Atletico Madrid at the top.
01:42With the whole Simeone family, with Gianluca I shared a time in the River reserve, with Gio in the national team and now in the Olympic Games with Juli.
01:56Cholo also told me, there you had the little Cholo, now you come with the bigger Cholo. I've always had a good relationship, so let's hope for good things to come.
02:10I want to thank him because I've already seen a lot of messages on social media, to the people who were approaching here in Madrid to greet me, to show me their affection, their support, to say thank you.
02:24If there is something I can promise, it is that I will always do my best to give my best on the pitch to help the team and win with this shirt.
