Julian Alvarez is already a reality at Manchester City. The Argentine forward is having a great start to the season and the coach, Pep Guardiola, already considers him at the level of Haaland. The Argentine forward has given Pep a nice problem because he cannot leave him on the bench due to his high level, and he has learned to bring Haaland and Julian together in the best possible way. Now, the world champion in Qatar, talks about what it's like to play with Haaland.

 

In a conversation with the Manchester City media, Julian shared many issues. "There's been a lot of speculation about if we can play together. We've shown we can. The previous season, too. Whenever we've played together, we've scored and contributed with assists. I'm happy for what he's achieved. "Last year with Manchester City, it was almost at the end of the season when I started doing it here, too [taking corners and free-kicks]. Here I practice when we do strategy sessions with the team, but not much more than that..."

About winning everything last season, Alvarez shared his emotions. “Incredible to win the Treble. I'd have to go with the celebrations in Manchester after everything. It was amazing to travel across the city and see happy faces all around. Something I'll always remember. It's incredible to have won all these titles in a season. I don't think many had done it before. It seems it was my moment, but I also think the product of all the effort, sacrifice, and a little luck to be on the right team at the right time..."

 

What does Julian Alvarez say about leaving Argentina to go to England?

"I came from Argentina, and knew in Europe people don't know a lot about South American or Argentinian football, but during my time here, I think I've managed to become more known. I work every day to improve, grow. Last year I was adapting to Manchester City." On the other hand, he confessed that being in a new country and continent was extremely challenging. "It's another country, another city, another language for me. I'm trying to learn from all of that to grow as a person and as a player..."
