SERIE A - Giovanni Simeone: ''Dad did his thing and I’m doing mine''
In Serie A, Giovanni Simeone is finally beginning to emerge from his father's shadow.
Hellas Verona defeated Juventus 2-1 on Saturday, with Diego Simeone's son scoring twice. Diego Simeone is the son of former Argentina player and current Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone.
Simeone, the younger, has had an eventful week. Last Sunday, he also scored all four goals in Verona's 4-1 triumph over Lazio, a former team of his father's.
“Dad did his thing and I’m doing mine,” the 26-year-old Simeone said. “Every day, every year, I get more mature.
“I’ve found the right balance and everything is working well right now.”
Simeone now has eight goals in 10 matches this season, leaving him behind only Ciro Immobile of Lazio (nine goals) on the Italian league's scoring chart. He's also scored twice against Juventus with Genoa and Cagliari.
