The Argentine soccer legend who compared himself to Julian Alvarez

Julian Alvarez is one of the great references today and the Argentine's great work at his young age is also beginning to attract the attention of former soccer players from his country, who do not hesitate to compare themselves with the player, who is now one of the scorers for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and was also key in winning the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Now, the Argentine soccer legend, Javier Saviola, did not hesitate to compare himself with the Manchester City forward in his most recent interview.

Saviola, who currently lives in Andorra, gave an interview to the Flashscore site where he talked about Lamine Yamal (16), one of the great promises that football in general and the FCB in particular has, about the best in the world Lionel Messi (36 ), while he also referred to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and star Julián Álvarez, whom he sees as similar to his game.

"Manchester City is the team I like the most, because of Guardiola's way of playing, the players' ambition to reach the rival goal. Every time you see them you know that something good is going to happen, it catches you seeing such a competitive team all the time," he expressed, in addition to drawing a parallel with Julián Álvarez. "Barça was my first European club, I have a lot of love for it, its people, everything it gave me. But then Madrid is incredible, it is among the three greatest in the world because of its history, because of what it is," Saviola also added.

"If I had to choose a player to compare myself to, it would be Julián (Álvarez). I think he is similar to me, in addition to being an impressive scorer," he explained. I saw the last time he scored and I was surprised by how little space he had to score the goal he did. He is a player who does not need much space or much leg movement to shoot and that is very difficult for defenders," he confessed. In addition, he assured that even though he is in Miami, Lionel Messi is still the best. "Messi is still the best in the world. He is something unique," concluded the former River Plate and FC Barcelona player.
