Paul Merson has waxed poetic over Julian Alvarez, a striker for Manchester City.
He had some words to say about the Argentine international as the well-known expert predicted Pep Guardiola’s team will defeat Nottingham Forest 3-1 for Sportskeeda.
It’s reasonable to assume that Paul Merson is a major fan of Julian Alvarez, the goal scorer for Manchester City.
Paul Merson declares himself to be a “big fan” of the “special” Julian Alvarez.
Pep Guardiola has called the World Cup winner “incredible,” and this season, although he has been positioned behind the striker, he has been completely unplayable.
The 23-year-old’s most recent display of excellence against Red Star Belgrade was evidence of his talent as he scored twice while controlling the game from beginning to end.
When previewing Manchester City’s forthcoming match against Nottingham Forest, Paul Merson emphasised Julian Alvarez and his greatness.
Erling Haaland has been City’s star player ever since joining the team last season, but Alvarez is a special player in my book, Alvarez remarked.
“He is gifted with the potential to score goals and create, as we witnessed in the Champions League in midweek. He can play as a No. 10 or up forward. Long may it continue! He has played pretty much every week this season.
Questions concerning Julian Alvarez’s long-term future at Manchester City have been answered.
Although Julian Alvarez is an incredibly talented player, Paul Merson and many others wondered if he would remain at Manchester City in the long run.
After all, no striker, no matter how talented the former River Plate forward is, could possibly replace Erling Haaland in the lineup.
However, Pep Guardiola’s successful use of him behind the Norwegian superstar shows that his starting position won’t be in doubt in the future.
Julian Alvarez will have a space reserved in the team even if Kevin De Bruyne’s return from injury causes him to lose his position because the latter isn’t getting any younger.
