Pep Guardiola was full of praise when asked about Julián Álvarez after the 23 year old had a goal and an assist for Manchester City.
Julián Álvarez was a substitute for Pep Guardiola’s team during their Champions League match against RB Leipzig but the World Cup winner had a goal and an assist in the 3-1 win. Guardiola spoke at a press conference after the game and was asked about the World Cup winner. Here is what he had to say:
“When a player is a world champion with Argentina and plays in the starting XI for Argentina, it’s because he is a good player.
“Last season he arrived in a moment when we had John, Rodri, Kevin, Gundo and it was working well and he didn’t get many minutes but he never complained and look what happened now.
“When you have this positivity and go there, make three runs, two or three crosses, make an outstanding goal again – it’s not the first time he scored this type of goal.
“In 10, 15 minutes the impact was huge. To have these players on the bench with this mentality is really important.”
Kudos to Gallardo for cultivating Julian and Enzo…
At 23 years, only Ballon d’or is missing to complete football. Argentina’s golden boy.
Alvarez goal was carbon copy of his goal against Poland!! Best Argentina player in Europe right now.
Mbappe zero shot on target says how much Messi and Neymar helped him score all his goals. I still remember how this man ignored Messi in the field match after match . Messi would be in a great position to score and he and his bit$ch Hakimi would ignore the GOAT! This over rated Frenchman will run to Madrid next year with his tail between his legs!
It reminded me of Tévez goal with Juventus. Powerful hit from an almost stationary position.

Alvarez probably best ball striker in Europe.
Lautaro is also red hot. Too bad they play the same position. We need a young winger to make his mark.
Varela looks very good.. it’s hard to break in NT but he looks good. Too much talent in mid field.
