Pep Guardiola’s caress for Julián Álvarez: “He leaves us very good impressions”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the “first impressions” that Julián Álvarez left on them “were very good” and warned that he and his coaching staff will try to give “good containment”to the attacker who emerged in the River Plate who became one of the reinforcements of the almighty citizens for next season.

Pep Guardiola, who is in Houston leading the England squad’s pre-season in the United States, also explained that the idea is “don’t put too much pressure on players who have just arrived”.

The Spanish coach stressed that “we have to give newcomers homes, apartments in Manchester and in training sessions we want them to grow. And contain them well “.

“First impressions of Julián (Álvarez), Kalvin (Phillips), Erling (Haaland) and Stefan (Ortega) were very good, they look like good people. Having a good atmosphere in the locker room is more important than tactics, ”said Guardiola.

In another order, the Catalan manager ruled out a possible arrival of Brazilian Neymar in the squad he directs, after rumors that the PSG striker could move to the Premier League.

“Every summer they say Manchester City will buy 150 players and this is clearly not happening,” said Guardiola. And he remarked: “He is an exceptional player and a good boy, but it is not true that he will come to City. I am sorry for Neymar, of course.”
