Now that he is in Japan with Manchester City, Julian Alvarez's action that surprises Pep Guardiola

Julián Alvarez works to improve every day and not only from a footballing point of view. According to the players of the Argentine National Team, the Spider "is a sponge" and acquires knowledge very quickly. Precisely that ability led him to become an elite player at the age of 23, but the Cordovan also uses that virtue of learning also for the language.

When he landed in England, one of the news that revolutionized the networks was the fact that Julian had started English classes. Not so much because of the fact itself, but because of the beauty of his teacher, Sara Duque, a former sports lawyer who is now dedicated to helping athletes communicate fluently in different languages.

Manchester City is already in Tokyo to start its preseason. There, the Argentine player is already beginning to practice his soccer skills, as well as others outside the field of play. In one of the interviews that the player gave to different media, he confessed which had been one of the most difficult opponents he has faced and mentioned that Virgil Van Dijk was precisely one of them.

What did Julian Alvarez say about Van Dijk?

Now, the former River Plate striker filled his teacher with pride in a video published by Manchester City.The Calchín native was subjected to a question and answer game in which he answered everything in English. The one that caught the most attention? The one about the most difficult defender Álvarez had to face. After a moment's thought, he answered: "Van Dijk". It is worth remembering that he faced Virgil both in the Premier League and in the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
