Saviola on Julián Álvarez: “We have many similar things”

Former footballer Javier Saviola spoke in a recent interview about the level of River Plate attacker Julián Álvarez and compared himself to the next Manchester City player. It is surprising the way he moves, the number of goals he has been scoring in so few games, how he carries that maturity both in football and personally. It’s a diamond in the rough that River has,” Saviola told the supporter’s programme This Is River.Regarding the comparison between him and the future Mnachester City striker, the “Bunny” commented: “We have a lot of similar things. In something I can say that at the moment I am a little higher. The economic is important personally and for the club. I left at 19 and he’s there nearby (he turned 22). What we like is football and he looks happy playing. Then the issue of figures and values is anecdotal. He’s going to be at a club that’s going to protect him and where he plays very good football.” One as a striker can have qualities as he has them and a lot of important things, but what surprises me is that he scores a goal and is immediately looking to do more, he is seen with a lot of desire to progress, “said Saviola regarding the qualities of Álvarez.Finally, the former Barcelona player of Spain advised the striker:  “I would tell him this is still very long, he’s just getting started. The worst thing that can happen to us is to hurry it. He has to enjoy and keep playing the games he’s doing. We know he has a huge future ahead of him.”
