Julián Álvarez has scored three goals in 249 minutes to give him a strong start at Manchester City. The main issue facing the 22-year-old attacker is that Erling Haaland plays in his position. Sergio Aguero wants to see more of his countryman in action.
Álvarez scored twelve minutes after entering the game in the Community Shield match against Liverpool on his official City debut. Although the Argentine frequently fills in, it is still not possible for him to take over a base position in Pep Guardiola’s formation. Unsurprisingly, Haaland is preferred during rush hour.
Aguero, who is City’s all-time leading scorer, told the club channel that he would like to see his fellow countryman more often at work: “Julián is good, genuinely good.” “I’d draught him and allow him some latitude to go around in the vanguard. to look around and make mischief. The 34-year-old striker who had to stop his career added, “I would offer him a free role.
Julián Álvarez stated, “I’ve always played different spots up front. “I can also play in a free role up front, like Sergio says, or on the side. Although in principle Alvarez is Haaland’s main competition, he can also play hanging on the right.
He appreciates what his former teammate from Argentina had to say. The athlete remarked, “I learned a lot from him, and he gave me a lot of advice. “It makes me happy that such a legendary player in Manchester City history, as well as Argentina and the rest of the world, has something positive to say about me.
