Carlos Alvarez returned to Nervión as a figure of the Levante and took the 0-3 victory with a great game and scoring his team’s third against a Sevilla decomposing. The youth player received a standing ovation from Sevillismo. A … fans who saw him grow up in the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Sports City and who warned that Carlitos was going to be a good player. Fate led him to go practically free to Levante, a decision for which some now put their hands on their heads seeing his talent and projection to his team. 22 years in First Division.
Regarding the debate about how the young pearl of Sanlúcar la Mayor was allowed to escape from Nervión, the former Sevilla player and current coach of Spain under 20, Paco Gallardo. The former coach of the red and white quarry explains that that decision was studied and within a logical training process in line with the period the club was going through: «There is no need to be advantageous. The stage in which Carlos Álvarez was at Sevilla is not the same as the one the club is experiencing now. Carlos has already been away from Sevilla for two or three years. When he left, Sevilla had another reality, another team, another different situation. “It would be advantageous to say now that Carlos Álvarez should be at Sevilla FC,” He stated in an interview on ‘Gol a gol’, on Canal Sur Televisión.
Along the same lines, Gallardo adds that “at that time Carlos needed a transition, to be able to continue with the progressive career he was leading. Both Carlos Marchena and I gave him the opportunity to play matches in Second Division B when he was 16-17 years old, but he had to go through a process before getting to play for Sevilla that was in European competitions, winning the Europa League… I had to follow the process of leaving, as it came out, so that later he can return and be an important player, because he has the conditions to be able to play for Sevilla FC,” Gallardo concluded.
The truth is that one’s own Carlos Álvarez was tremendously grateful and respectful (he asked for forgiveness for his goal) after Levante’s overwhelming victory at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, declaring at the end of the match that “yes, in the end it is always special. I have grown up here all my life, I have enormous respect for them and what better way to score a goal in front of my family on this field, where I have come so many times since I was little. The truth is that it is like a dream,” said Carlitos, without showing even an iota of resentment for that decision that ended up leading to his departure to Levante at zero cost, although Sevilla reserved 50 percent of the economic rights.
