Julián Álvarez shines at Atleti: Guardiola approves his decision
Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, has praised Julián Álvarez’s positive impact at Atlético de Madrid. Guardiola stated that he does not feel responsible for the Argentine striker’s departure, but rather that it was the player’s own decision in search of more minutes.
The Spanish coach was happy with the prominence that Álvarez has found at Atleti, highlighting his consistency, goals, and the presence he brings to the team. ‘We are very happy that he is doing so well because of the continuity, the goals, and the presence he has.
He helped us a lot to achieve something unique in our club, and we are very happy when good people like him do well,’ Guardiola said, acknowledging Álvarez’s valuable contribution to Manchester City in the past.
Guardiola admitted that, had he stayed, Álvarez would have had more opportunities at City due to injuries in the squad. However, he stressed that the most important thing is the player’s happiness. Álvarez’s arrival at Atlético has undoubtedly been a success, and Guardiola has no hesitation in wishing him all the best in this new stage at the Metropolitano.
