The former Argentine player who compared Julian Alvarez with Di Stefano

Julian Alvarez is one of the great forwards of the moment. The Argentine player has placed himself significantly among the main footballers of today and has positioned himself as a starter in Pep Guardiola's scheme. After his great 2022 World Cup, the career of the young Argentine striker has been on the rise and for this reason, some Argentine football leaders and legends are already praising him and even comparing him to great players.

In dialogue with TyC Sports, the former San Lorenzo goalkeeper, Jorge D'Alessandro, highlighted the performance of the Manchester City forward and assured: “Julián Álvarez is the reincarnation of Alfredo Di Stéfano. He is a total playmaker, he plays everything. And he does it in football 2.0, of airplanes.” In this sense, it was Julián Álvarez who received tremendous praise after his great performances with the Argentine National Team and with Manchester City.

The attacker who emerged from River continues to attract attention worldwide thanks to his extraordinary performances in the Premier League and in the team led by Lionel Scaloni. In the Albiceleste's recent match against Paraguay, La Araña started alongside Lautaro Martínez and Nicolás González in attack, although he was replaced by Messi five minutes into the second half.
