Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is counting on Julian Alvarez this new season.
Speaking about the acquisitions of both Erling Haaland and Alvarez, City boss Guardiola has already outlined how to get the best out of the two incoming arrivals, looking to compliment their qualities with is already on the books at the Etihad Stadium.
"Julian is coming, we're going to help him to adapt well," Guardiola told the Manchester Evening News after Haaland's arrival. “I think the players when they are good and normally it happens in these type of clubs — they have good vibes and energy to stay positive to understand and to help. Our way to play is so simple.
"I'm pretty sure [Haaland will adapt]. I have to know him to give a real opinion and work with him. But when he scores his amount of goals it is because he is good and intuitive."
In another interview, Guardiola continued: "We have to try to play good. I never thought the whole defensive situation depends on a central defender, nor the goals we score should depend on a striker. He has scored a lot of goals in his career and we are going to help him through the game have more chances to score goals.
"We are not going to give him responsibility to score goals. We have to win games. To win, we need everyone working the right way to arrive as much as possible and as much as we can arrive there we can do it."
