“Haaland, who?”: The British press is furious at Julián Álvarez’s six goals and shocked at his arrival in the City

Julián Álvarez’s historic night and his 6 goals in River’s 8-1 against Alianza Lima for the final date of Group F of the Copa Libertadores, reached England. The British press is already squeezing Cordovan’s arrival in Manchester City, where he will meet another newcomer, Erling Haaland. And some media, such as The Sun, emphasize his scoring performance in a joke, ignoring the Norwegian: Haland, who?

Álvarez scored in the 15th, 18th, 41st, 54th, 57th and 83rd minutes, a game he played because Marcelo Gallardo requested that Lionel Scaloni’s calls to the National Team Argentina (the other being Franco Armani) is on the pitch. And the win not only served Núñez’s staff to be second to the best first in the Libertadores, behind Palmeiras, a privilege that will determine which team will play the rematch at home.

In addition, with his success, Julián entered the great history of the Millionaire because there has never been a footballer wearing a band t-shirt who has scored 6 goals in a single game.

“The Manchester City star made history with six goals in a game that broke a 121-year record”directed The Sun, announcing Julián’s arrival for the month of July.

And he added, speaking about the footballer who signed for Citizens in January: “Álvarez has earned a reputation as a deadly shooter in South America and City fans are jokingly wondering. who needs haaland“.

Gallardo’s message to Guardiola

In the short break this winter, River’s priority will replace Julián Álvarez, but the transfer market doesn’t provide many options when it comes to transfers, at least for an economy like Argentina and a level of demand like to Gallardo.

“What shall we take, a kinesiologist?” Gallardo made no tactical comment a few days ago when asked about the positions to be sought. But the options being considered don’t work, at least for now: Lucas Alario warns he will stay in Europe, Valentín Castellanos hints at a spending of inaccessible money and Colombian Miguel Borja has an outstanding contract. For this reason, the comment flying today on Núñez is another: “And if Julian stays until December?”.

“It’s hard for Julián to stay because there’s a team that has made a good investment. Manchester City have a diamond in the rough … We’re countries that export players. A lot of players have left. this time and we tried Changing him would not be easy. He will play in the round of 16 and go to his new destination. What can happen is not up to me or what we can do, ”DT commented after the victory against Alianza Lima.

And he added, between laughs: “Can I talk to Guardiola so they can leave him for another six months? If they want to give him up until the end of the year, we don’t have any problems and we’ll be grateful. We’ll prepare a footballer willing to jump, but we can give it more flying. You will not listen to my request, but we would be very grateful if you would leave it until the end of the year.“.

At River they are excited about convincing City that leaving Julián for a few months will not only help him continue to grow professionally, but will also give him minutes and rhythm in the run-up to Qatar 2022 World Cup, a call that is now almost confirmed but it will not be certain if the striker will come to the City and spend a long time without establishing himself in the team, a fairly logical scenario.

In his young age of 22, Julián will join a squad full of stars, with several world championships, titles and finals behind him, and will seek to gain a place in Guardiola’s consideration, a challenge for child from Cachín.

In addition, a formidable opponent came to his position, Norwegian Erling Haaland, who has been called one of the world’s new football stars for the next decade. Yes, Haaland, is joking now in Manchester if it is necessary to bring him to the City.
