Pep Guardiola bets on Haaland, champion striker Alvarez and Simeone Manchester City for Olmo

Coaches are not saints, they all have their own tactical system and the players they feel are suitable. Atletico are close to signing Argentina's main striker Alvarez, so let's talk about the deal.

First:Why did Alvarez leave Manchester City and join Atletico Madrid?？ In terms of the two words "main force", although Alvarez played a lot of time last season, it was caused by the lack of time due to injuries to Haaland and De Bruyne, and Guardiola's first choice for the No. 9 position was Haaland, so Alvarez was a substitute player in Manchester City. Haaland is basically stealthy in tough battles, Norway center Manchester City career final 0 goals, Norway national team is worth 9th in Europe, but they don't even have to play in the 2024 Euro 2024 in which 24 teams participate, which shows that Haaland is not a player with his own system, more of a counter-attacking hand and "pie forward", and cannot improve a team. The 24-year-old Argentina striker Alvarez, as the main winner of the 2022 World Cup + 2024 Copa America, is certainly not convinced by his position as Haaland, who has not even played in the big game. Choosing Atletico Madrid, the coach is Argentina compatriot Simeone, there are also a number of Argentina players in the team, and the atmosphere in the team is very suitable for Alvarez, who can play the main team and also play in the Champions League.

Second:Why did Atletico spend so much money on Alvarez？ Chelsea provided the assist, and the Blues have already done this summer windowAgreed to sign Atletico Madrid's 20-year-old Spain striker for 45 million eurosOmorodion (worth €35 million)。 Atletico soldOmorodion, there is money to buy Alvarez, and exchange the talent of the demon for instant combat power. One glance at Omorodion is one sure that he is the "man" of Chelsea.

Third:Manchester City sell Alvarez and can compete with Barcelona for Olmo！ If Manchester City sell Alvarez for a transfer fee of around 80 million euros, then Manchester City will have money to bring in new signings. Euro 2024 champions Spain contributed attacking midfielder Olmo from the Barca academy and is a player that Pep Guardiola needs tactically, and Manchester City need a consistent scoring point in the new season, with the option to compete with Barcelona for Olmo.

According to Wise, Palmer was originally also an Olmo type of player, but he could not guarantee a regular player in the Manchester City system, and after his transfer to Chelsea, Alvarez faced the same choice as Palmer, so that quality players are eager to play in the main team. If Alvarez leaves, City's ability to shoot from distance will be reduced, and Haaland's header ability is actually terrible, he always likes to put his head on the bottom of the ball, and has more than many times with his header into a high throw. This means that Manchester City's attacking ability is declining in the new season, De Bruyne and Haaland are prone to injury, without a high-quality player like Alvarez as a backup, in fact, Manchester City's new season is still difficult, and Arsenal is already eyeing the Premier League title.
