Julián Álvarez chose his favorite club in Mexico and they are not Chivas and América

Julián Álvarez is in his first season as a Manchester City player, in a short time he has scored 14 goals in all the competitions his club has faced, but he does not have the confidence of manager Pep Guardiola and is the ideal substitute for Erling Haaland. Three months ago the striker was world champion with the Argentine National Team.

During his first pre-season as a Manchester City player, Julián Álvarez was asked to talk about the Mexican club he knows best. And to the surprise of many, he did not stay with Club América, Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pumas, these are the most famous teams in Mexican soccer.

Club America, Cruz Azul, Pumas and Chivas are the most popular teams in Mexican soccer. These clubs have millions of fans and are the ones that generate the most income from broadcasting rights. Although a few years ago Tigres and Monterrey have grown a lot because they have won several championships.

Julián Álvarez chose Monterrey for a fairly simple reason: Germán Martelotto was a former player who is from the same town as the Argentine star and that is why the Manchester City striker knows the Rayados.

Julián Álvarez is a fan of Monterrey

“There are many Mexican soccer clubs that are very big, that are very beautiful, with a lot of history. But hey, I personally know Monterrey a lot because a person (Germán Martellotto) from the same town where I was born is an idol there in Monterrey." Julian Alvarez said in interview whit TUDN.
