Guardiola’s praise for Julian Alvarez

After the thrashing for the 29th round of the Premier League in the middle of the fight for the top of Manchester City’s English tournament over Liverpool, the coach of the local team, Pep Guardiola, was full of praise for Julián Álvarez, Argentine striker world champion. Not only did he score a goal, he also gave an assist in the second and third, he was involved in everything, “said the Spaniard in the post-match interview. With the goal converted to open the scoring, the “Spider” reached six goals in 21 games, of which only seven were starters. In that way also, in four Champions League games he added two goals. About the performance of the former River, Pep added that “except for the ball he lost in his first action, he was very collaborative. He’s an exceptional player. The club made an incredible hire for its price.” Despite the pressure of starting to replace striker Erling Haaland, who is suffering from a groin injury, the Argentine scored the first of the game in the 27th minute. In that sense, Guardiola stressed that “for something he plays for the Argentine national team, the world champions. He plays there alongside Messi and the rest of the players because he has something. It was a great match from him.”
