Julián Álvarez's connection with Manchester City continues to strengthen in the ongoing season. Despite being in his second campaign with the club, the Argentinian shows a level of confidence equal to or even greater than when he first arrived in the Premier League outfit. The forward has emerged as a consistent figure under Pep Guardiola's guidance, succeeding in the team's offensive efforts, factors that promote his continual growth within the club.
Indeed, in the opening two rounds of the English league against Burnley and Newcastle, Julián contributed with a goal and an assist. The “Spider” maintains his distinctive drive, showcasing on-field resilience and a dominant performance. With the departure of Riyad Mahrez and İlkay Gündogan, coupled with Kevin de Bruyne's injury, Pep has found in the former River Plate player an essential component capable of infiltrating tight spaces and challenging opposing defenses.
In context, the South American continues to solidify his role as the ideal partner for Erling Haaland, who has experienced a challenging start. Álvarez, despite not being a starter in the UEFA Super Cup final, proved decisive in the subsequent two matches. Against “The Magpies,” his goal secured victory for his team and left Guardiola thrilled. The Cordovan's powerful strike changed the trajectory of a match that appeared to be getting difficult for City, avoiding a potentially disastrous result with his exceptional contribution.
With 26 appearances in the starting lineup since joining the “Citizens,” his statistics stand out: 23 direct contributions to goals, split between 18 goals and five assists, as reported by SPORT. This is remarkable for someone who was assumed to be Haaland's substitute and is now securing his place in the starting eleven with the constant support of Pep.
After their hard victory against Newcastle, the reigning champion of the Champions League is getting ready to visit Sheffield United for the 3rd match of the Premier League. The match will take place at Bramall Lane Stadium on Sunday, August 27th, starting at 8 in the morning via ESPN and Star+.
