Julián Álvarez achieves a milestone without a name: at the top of River history and puts him in a destination for Qatar

River was 121 years old this Wednesday. And Julián Álvarez, the brilliant striker from Córdoba, made a massive gift: framework six goals at 8-1 against Alliance of Five and seals his name in the fire by being the first football player in Núñez club history to score that amount in a match. Yes, a performance 10 points so that it resonated with the concentration of the Argentine National Team in Bilbao.

Much has been said in recent days about Gagamba and his late arrival in Spain to join Lionel Messi and the company. Marcelo Gallardo stood firm and left controversial for determination. Some believe this rejection could play against Cordovan from 22 years. But the question is: Will Álvarez have a better chance of getting to the World Cup in Qatar by training for a week under the command of Lionel Scaloni and without adding minutes of play or will his chances increase if he stays at the River and there will be another memorable performance, like he did last night against Alianza Lima?

Álvarez forgot everything he said about him during the week and he shouted his things on the field: the six goals – a milestone with no names like hattrick (3), poker (4) and the small hand (5)-he was allowed to take home two balls, something they would never be able to do, for example, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

“I am very happy, trying to enjoy every minute. The truth is, people have a good time here: I’m having fun and I feel people’s love. I’m happy with everything that’s happening to me “Álvarez was embarrassed after his memorable performance. And I added: “We had a good game. We need a win like this to finish the group stage well ”.

It is time to say whether Álvarez will go to the World Cup in Qatar or not. If you don’t, it will be an injustice. Since the Calchín -born is a national team footballer, there is no doubt. He will join Manchester City in July this year and that is possible successor in their first months because he will join a winning and hierarchical squad, where he will join Norwegian Erling Haaland. There will be speculation after filming and adapting to a big league. But the highest yield it has in the country should not be left out, local and international.

Europeans who do not know Álvarez will watch the first goal he scored against Alianza Lima to find out what does the striker do. And it was Araña who dropped himself to the ground and recovered 3/4 of the field, drew a diagonal from center right (he got between 6 and 3) and determined to cross after receiving millimeter clearance from Santiago Simón .

later, Álvarez showcased all of his repertoire. In the second, he connected a cross from Simón within the area; in the third, he shot from the outside and nailed it; in the fourth, he hit the goalkeeper and touched the empty bow; in the fifth, he received from Elías Gómez and stabbed it before Campos left; in the sixth and last, he received his left foot on the crescent, he went into a pure disguise, escaped the two rivals and crossed it with his left foot.

Cachín attacker numbers are enormous and that is why it was ruled that his non -involvement in Qatar it would be an injusticea. on the River He has 51 goals in 115 games and four behind Rafael Santos Borré, the top scorer of the Gallardo cycle. More Spider Stats: Played 51 matchess in the 2021/2022 season, noted 36 goals and distributed 11 help.

The day was historic, of course. Alvarez became the second player in scoring 6 goals in the same game the history of the Copa Libertadores. Past? He is also Argentinian Juan Carlos Sanchezwhich in 1985 contributed such an amount to Bolivia’s 8-0 Blooming victory over Venezuela’s Deportivo Italia.

The mark Álvarez achieved was not appropriate for these times. It just is 5 footballers scored 6 or more goals in First Division tournaments in Argentine professionalism. In 1933, Francisco Varallo he scored 6 in a 7-1 victory for Boca against Chacarita; in 1937, Arsenio Eric he celebrated 6 times in Independiente’s 7-1 victory over Quilmes; in 1941, Jaime Sarlanga he scored 6 goals in Boca’s 7-2 against Atlanta; and in 1972, Rafael Domingo Moreno scored 6 to 8-0 from the Argentinos to Lanús.

Cordovan has very little reach Juan Alberto Tavernaholding the record for goals recorded in a game in Argentine football: on October 6, 1974, in Banfield’s win against Puerto Comercial, he shouted seven points within 13-1 against the Bahian team.

Álvarez has never been to England yet in the River they miss him. So just maybe Gallardo even dared to ask Guardiola, between laughs, to leave it longer. The concrete thing is that he will leave in july and that is for round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. He will also play in the early dates of the next championship. later, say goodbye leaving a legacy: becoming the top scorer in an official against club history. And yes, a brand like this deserves to have a World Cup. That’s what Scaloni probably heard in Bilbao.
