Yes, obviously", he added about himself. He also commented on his first steps in <strong>Athletic </strong>and how he decided to be known by his own career, not by the surname he used. That's why he chose to just put 'Giuliano' on the shirt, without the <strong>Simeone </strong>added. “I remember that when I joined the reserve team it was the first time that I would have a name on the shirt... I remember that my brothers and my father put Simeone on the shirt, and I always wanted to chart my path beyond the surname. <strong>Julian </strong>on the shirt for me, for my name. I liked this decision. Yes, it was my decision. I talked to my people, my family, my girlfriend... and there was everything. In the end I made the decision and I liked it. I want you to know me as <strong>Julian</strong>”, he commented.</p> <span class="dynamic-ad-module "/><span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-xs roba-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit roba"> </span></span></span><p data-gtm-element-container="modulo-texto-link" class="paragraph">“The last name means nothing in football,” he continued.
