Since arriving at Manchester City in the summer of 2022, Julian Alvarez has won career goals in just one season. Winner of a historic treble with the Skyblues (Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup), the 1.70m striker also won the World Cup with Argentina last winter. In addition to being able to add these fantastic titles to his record at just 23 years old, the striker can boast of having played an important role in these two teams. At the start of the 2023-2024 season, the former River Plate player is playing even more under the leadership of Pep Guardiola.
Asked after his team’s victory this Saturday against Nottingham Forest (2-0), the Catalan technician said all the good things he thought of Alvarez: “Julián has everything, the fight, the goals and the assists. Playing behind Erling Haaland makes him an incredible threat. And he’s an incredibly charming man. At the moment, with the injuries, he has had minutes and is giving us a lot of good things. That’s why he’s playing, but he has to keep going. There are a lot of games left, some games he won’t play, I hope the other players come back and fight for the position.» These are flattering statements that should please the person concerned.
