Julián Álvarez is not a starter for Manchester City in his first season with the club. The Argentine striker has not earned the trust of manager Pep Guardiola, as he is a substitute striker and only plays if Erling Haaland is injured or in minor matches.

Álvarez has played 29 games and has scored nine goals. Pretty good numbers for a striker who has little activity with the club. In 2022 Julián was one of the best players in the Argentine National Team and won the World Cup in Qatar.

Pep Guardiola is a coach obsessed with his work and on many occasions he does not have a good relationship with the players. At FC Barcelona he had problems with Zlatan Ibrahimoviç and in the end the Swede had to leave the club.

It seems that Guardiola lives the same with Julián Álvarez, the coach does not trust him and prefers Erling Haaland, although the Norwegian striker is not having a good time in 2023, only scoring four goals and has a low game.

Pep Guardiola does not trust Álvarez

In the match against Nottingham Forest, Haaland missed several scoring chances and looked tired. Pep Guardiola decided until the 90th minute when the game was tied 1-1 to enter Julián and gave him four minutes. This act was seen by Argentine fans as disrespectful and they ask that Álvarez leave the club as soon as possible.
