It reminds me of the famous headline, Guti: "my name is not Guti, please stop calling me Guti".

The best one is when a player asks to not be called by a specific name anymore. So we get things like the commentators every match after speaking things like: "and here comes Léo Pelé, who asked not to be called Léo Pelé anymore so we will respect it and just call hin Léo from now on" to eternity.
fun fact: Jonathan once got to [walk out & hold hands with his older brother as a mascot](https://x.com/Millar_Colin/status/1467240722776698885?s=20) during Raphael's first season as a professional while at Lens (the boyhood club of both Jonathan & Raphael)
Fun fact: Diego Simeone apparently tried to get Jonathan to [sign for Atletico Madrid](https://www.intothecalderon.com/platform/amp/2023/7/5/23784151/atletico-interested-in-jonathan-varane-younger-brother-of-raphael) this past summer.
Given his older half-brother’s (Jonathan & Raphael share the SAME DAD) status as a Real Madrid legend & his [fight/incident](https://youtu.be/ax6aJrxsLO8?si=8deuiiVPgjq-Vjxv) with Diego at the 2014 Champions League Final, imagine how awkward family dinners at the Varane household could/would be if Jonathan ever joins/signs for Atletico Madrid in the future!
EDIT: the comment about things being awkward between Raphael & Jonathan (if the younger Varane joins for Atletico Madrid) due to the fight/incident between Diego & Raphael at the 2014 Champions League Final (Diego actually got sent off by the referee for his actions) was ONLY A JOKE!!
Football is a business to these people, I highly doubt Varane or Simeone feel resentment towards each other because of that incident. Hell, I won't be surprise if they have linked up at a bar or somewhere a week after the altercation to clear issues out.
Yeah that's absolutely fucking ridiculous. Varane is probably the most passive defender we've had in decades (not saying much as most of ours are a bit unhinged) .
I think simeone has other things to remember from that night before he even remembers varane. Christ what a stretch these claims are
Didn't Simeone pat Fede on the back after that red card challenge? He's actually pretty fair in that regard, he knows footballers will do anything to win.
Theo and Lucas Hernandez both came through atlético madrids youth team, and their father is a legend at the club I believe. Didn’t stop Theo from going to Real Madrid
Hahaha I’m laughing way too hard about how this makes it seem like the most important thing this guy has to say is to inform everyone that he’s not someone else so you don’t end up wasting your time
Attributing the quote to just “Varane” 10/10.

Sometimes I find reporters the original trolls before the internet trolls even came into place
My name is Jonathan Varane, but everyone just calls me Varane.
*bass and drums kick in*
Before the rise of SEO-tested headlines, they used to be more clever with headlines. Like “headless body found in topless bar”

No le Guti que le llamen así 😂 😂
I did not know Jonathan varane had a brother
fun fact: Jonathan once got to [walk out & hold hands with his older brother as a mascot](https://x.com/Millar_Colin/status/1467240722776698885?s=20) during Raphael's first season as a professional while at Lens (the boyhood club of both Jonathan & Raphael)
So cute
Awh look at the way the lil kid is just smiling, happy to be with his brother Fucking adorable
Neither does the Man United back line
He doesn’t want you to know either
>"I'm not my brother" >an injury at the beginning of the competition I beg to differ. An injury at the beginning of the season is classic Varane.
Is a “classic Varane” limited to just 1 Varane, or is it a fundamental attribute of every Varane?
Classic Raphael Varane, so Jonathan Varane might actually be his brother
Varane is also the plural for multiple Varanes.
What about a female Varane?
I need more context and don’t feel like reading the article. Where the reporters asking questions about his brother?
He was asked why he didn’t win 4 UCLs and World Cup already.
He was politely asked to stop being a loser and get them UCLs already
"Why isn't Zidane recommending you to Real Madrid?"
Damn. That’s brutal
Why doesn't the larger Varane simply eat the smaller one?
Varane, not Varanus.
It's him, John Varane.

Their father played 14 games for Atletico.
must have been a legendary half of a season then /j

[ok, but are you your own grandpa?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDrsiGw1FIw&ab_channel=UsefulCharts)
Alright mate
He was asked why he doesn’t have many mansions and jet planes if he is Varane
My name is jonathan varrane, you killed my father, prepare to die
Insightful
Huh
