what of Julian Alvarez in the Manchester City seems to be serious. Despite the fact that many imagined him on loan, the former River player earned a place in the consideration of Pep Guardiola, who praised him on more than one occasion since his arrival. The Spider arrived to reinforce City’s offense and, in the position, he will have to compete with nothing more and nothing less than Erling Haaland.
About the duo that he saw with the Norwegian since his entrance, he said: “We didn’t do it many times in training. I’ve played with players of different qualities, I can adapt. This Saturday I played outside, on the right. Then I shared attack with the”.
As for the bittersweet taste with which he left the stadium, he said: “I’m happy to have scored my first goal, but it’s in the background. It was a final and we wanted to win. We have to keep working because a great season is coming.”
Referring to the adaptation he is carrying out, he said: “I am comfortable from the first day I arrived, my teammates, the coaching staff and many people who work at the club have treated me very well. I feel comfortable, happy and understanding how the City world, how are the training sessions going. I try to adapt and listen, learn to grow as a footballer and as a person”.
When recalling the play prior to the first goal in his history with City, Álvarez sentenced: “I steal behind the middle of the field. I reach the area. Phil (Foden) entered with the goalkeeper, I stayed and scored. I couldn’t celebrate it as I wanted because of the VAR. Pep had just called me and from the VAR they said it was a goal.”
