After leading Argentina’s Olympic team to a 2-0 victory over Ukraine and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Olympic men’s football tournament, Alvarez once again spoke to TyC Sports about his current situation at Manchester City. Less than 24 hours after Guardiola’s comments before the match against Barcelona on Monday, the Argentine responded.
At the time, Guardiola said, “I think he will seriously consider his future, and if he wants to tell us what he wants to do, his agent will call our sporting director. We have not considered replacing him, and I know he wants to play in key matches, but others feel the same. He wants more, and that’s a good attitude. When he has decided, he will let us know.”
Alvarez did not remain silent, and his response came straight to the point. He said, “I heard what Guardiola said. I didn’t say anything bad or abnormal; I’ve always said that I’m comfortable at Manchester City, but it’s logical to make an assessment after the season. I haven’t calmly thought about it. When the Olympics are over, I will calmly think about what I want. We’ll see what happens next.”
“Last season, I was one of the players with the most playing time in the Premier League, but indeed, in some important matches when you have to sit on the bench, no one likes that feeling.”
