Our Socials Suck, Álvaro Doesn’t

Abi

Preseason is a great opportunity for teams to get fans hyped for the upcoming season. New players, new formations, no new coaches (finally), new kits (February 15th), lots of new news. The social media content is ripe for the taking! This year The FC staff decided to go in a different direction than previous years, they’ve decided to do nothing. Okay, that’s not true, there is the occasional still photo of training and clips of preseason matches that lead to the inevitable video of a player, dead eyed, saying how exciting it was to play and that they can’t wait for the season to start. Riveting stuff.

Let’s be honest, we all know why our socials have shit the bed. It would seem the front office is yet to hand over the Twitter keys to anyone capable of producing fun, endearing, feel good, player content. I came out of retirement from the one article I’ve ever written to give the people what they need: The top ten most adorable pictures of Álvaro Barreal

Starting on a high with this goal celebration with his work dad, Lucho Acosta. If either of them leaves the other has to go. I refuse to let this family be broken apart.

Blonde Barreal is back baby! Pink boots, short shorts, blonde hair? Get out of here with that sass. 10s across the board.

He’s a hugger. A full body, from the soul, climb you like a tree, hugger.

Spot the difference, there isn’t one.

This is how he winks. That feeling, that’s depression leaving your body.

See?

You didn’t believe me at first did you?

Look at him. No notes.

He’s in The Post discord. Is his background a picture of him arguing with a ref? That’s my love language. Swoon.

Don’t fact check this

If you don’t feel all warm and fuzzy looking at his yerba mate thermos, please see yourself out. Clearwater Beach. Oh look, it’s preseason content.

An actual angel. Thinking about him setting up this impromptu snow photoshoot is deeply endearing.
100% he sent this to his mom.

He promised Brenner they could get matching haircuts if he stayed. It worked.

In conclusion, we all would.
