The Citizens coach stressed that the striker “is an exceptional player” after his goal against Chelsea. “He’s showing what he can do,” he added.
Julián Álvarez continues his streak shortly after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: he scored his third consecutive goal, in Manchester City’s 2-0 victory against Chelsea, at home, for the 16th final of the League Cup England. And after the meeting Pep Guardiola praised him again for his high level in recent games.
“Julián is an exceptional player. From day one, he adapted and fought from day one,” said the technician in dialogue with Sky Sports. In turn, he stressed that he has to share a campus with none other than Erling Haaland.
“Of course, he has to compete with perhaps the best goalscorer in the world, like Erling,” he said. And he added: “We trust Julián 100 percent. He is showing what he can do.”
Finally, Pep Guardiola did not rule out that the Cordovan striker and the Norwegian star could form a striker. “You can play together”, he claimed. And he sentenced: “Good players can always play together.”
