Julian Alvarez earned some special praise from Pep Guardiola following his Man City debut MCFC
, the Argentine was immediately loaned back to his boyhood club in January before linking up with his new team.
Although he did not score on Wednesday, Alvarez left the perfect impression on Guardiola for his tireless work in and out of possession.“Julian [Alvarez] was incredible, defensively he is quite similar like Gabriel [Jesus],” Guardiola said. “Gabriel is probably the best, but he [Alvarez] is close to him in aggression and how intuitive he is, he makes the runs and with the ball he’s absolutely brilliant.
“The job that [manager] Marcelo Gallardo did at River Plate, we have the benefit, and hopefully he can grow up in an important league like Premier League.” Meanwhile, City’s marquee signing Erling Haaland was forced to wait for his first appearance for the Premier League champions as the club focus on his fitness.“We don’t want to take any risks, maybe against Bayern he will get a few minutes. We will see the evolution.”Offers Of The DayOpen account offer. Bet £10 & Get £50 in Free Bets for new customers at bet365. Min deposit requirement.
