Pep Guardiola reveals which is Julian Alvarez's best position and surprises

Julian Alvarez is being one of the most outstanding footballers of the moment. The Argentine player has slipped into Pep Guardiola's starting lineup, where he has managed to stand out in a great way, mainly in the face of the gap left by De Bruyne, something that has allowed several players to be placed in a new system, to try not to miss both to the Belgian player. Despite this, the team hopes to place itself in a great way and now, the coach reveals which is the best position for the Argentine player.

"He can play as a center forward or behind him. In central positions, near the area. He can play there because of his intensity, because of his high pressure. In addition, he moves better and better on the wings. Normally he is a nine, but he can play as a second striker behind Erling (Haaland). In Argentina, with Messi he can play higher up, alongside Lautaro (Martínez). In central positions, he is adapting really well," the Spanish coach expressed to the media.

When talking about Manchester City's great scorer, Julián commented: "There is no need to talk about what he does on the field, because he scored many goals in all the teams he was in and in his national team. He is a great boy, a great person and very nice. He always helps me and I thank him, his present makes me happy."

«Haaland is a great boy, a great person; very nice. He helps me, and he has helped me. He is always available, for anything. That is very good and I thank you. "He makes me very happy with his present and everything he has achieved," said Álvarez in dialogue with ESPN. For the 23-year-old from Córdoba, who joined City in mid-2022, the Norwegian Haaland is "incredible" on a football level, thanks to goals and good performances. «In all these years he has scored many goals in all the teams he was in.
