After the Argentine national team beat the Ukrainian national team 2-0 in the 3rd round of the Olympic men's soccer group stage to advance to second place in the group, Alvarez, a young striker in the Argentine team, became the center of media attention. After the match, he gave his personal opinion on the recent speculation about his future destination, especially Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's response to this in his press conference.
Alvarez said he had noticed Guardiola's response to his earlier comments, but emphasized that he had not said anything against City or Guardiola. "I heard what Guardiola said, but I want to clarify that I didn't say anything bad." Alvarez said in the interview, "I was just expressing the normal thought process that a player goes through at the end of every season, and that is the need to think carefully about his future in order to find a balance in his personal career."
He further emphasized his pleasant experience at City, "I always say that I am very comfortable at City, it's a great club and I feel very satisfied both on a competitive level and in terms of personal development. So please don't misunderstand me, I don't have any dissatisfaction or complaints about Manchester City."
Alvarez's statement not only shows his maturity and rationality as a professional player, but also expresses his deep affection and respect for Manchester City. In the soccer world, a player's future destination always attracts a lot of attention, but Alvarez's choice is obviously based on the thoughtfulness of his career and a comprehensive assessment of the existing environment.
