Julian Alvarez was one of Manchester City's surprise signings in the summer of 2022. However, after the World Cup of the same year, those who had doubts about the Argentine knew his true value. However, the competition for the starting role is extremely tough with Erling Haaland, but this could benefit in an unexpected way the world champion in the 'Citizen' team.
In the last round of the Premier League, when Manchester City overcame Emiliano Martinez's Aston Villa, the Norwegian Haaland barely played a half. Despite standing out against the 'villains', the former Borussia Dortmund striker was substituted by Guardiola, who arranged the entry of Julian Alvarez. The former River Plate player came close to scoring another goal in the English tournament.
Now, before the match against Arsenal, Guardiola spoke about Haaland's physical condition and questioned his presence against the 'gunners'. This would favor Julian, scorer of four goals in the World Cup in Qatar, who could have a greater role in the current Premier League champion.
Months ago, Guardiola stated that Julian Alvarez would be a starter at Manchester City if they had not signed Erling Haaland. However, the Norwegian arrived as a star and is already the top scorer in the Premier League and has become a nightmare for opposing defenders.
Although the 'Android' is gifted with an impressive physique, during the previous season he missed several Bundesliga games due to muscular discomfort. Now, at Manchester City they fear a relapse and this is why he receives the necessary care and does not usually complete the 90 minutes.
