The coach of the Manchester City, Josep Guardiolapicked up the gauntlet after the Argentine’s statements Julian Alvarezwho questioned his continuity in the team Premier League and he was blunt in assuring that he will leave it “think” and that will be seen later “what’s happening”.
The world champion had assured: “When the Olympics are over, I will calmly think about what I want for myself. I will have time to consider my decision. I did not stop and think calmly.”
“Only then will I calmly think about what I want”he said in statements with TyC Sports.
Alvarezwho last year was one of the players with the most minutes in the Premier Leagueexpressed his discontent over the lack of opportunities in crucial encounters: “In some important matches, when you have to be on the outside, you don’t like it. In the end, you don’t like being on the outside, you want to help.”
In response to his statements, his coach was the one who took up the challenge, Pep Guardiola: “I read that he’s going to think about it. Ok, think about it. Then he’ll let us know what he wants to do.”
“When he finishes thinking about his future, his agent will call Txiki (Begiristain, the team’s sporting director) and we’ll see what happens.”added the DT.
“Julian played a lot. Does he want more? Fine. So… Think about it. And when he thinks about it, he will let us know. We are not thinking about replacing him. I know he said he will think about it, we will see what happens. I know he wants to play in the important games, but there are others too. And we have 18, 19 players.”the Spaniard pointed out.
Even without giving him the playing time that the forward wants, since he competes with the Norwegian Erling Haaland, Guardiola He was always very complimentary: “Julián Álvarez is so young, what a signing we have made, what a signing the club has made in Argentina! He has everything, the fight, the goals and the assists.”
“He’s an incredibly lovely man. Playing behind Haaland makes him an incredible threat. I’m very happy for him because he deserves it.”he said at the end of 2023.
