Julian Alvarez, Spiderman, the Kangoo, the teacher girlfriend: who is the new Argentine star

A star was born in Qatar: Julian Alvarez. Fast center forward and quick in execution, able to move across the offensive front. In Argentina, due to his characteristics, some compare him to Aguero, while for others he is more similar to Higuain. And at the World Cup, together with Messi, he is leading the Albiceleste, who beat Australia 2-1 in the round of 16 (on 3 December) and are now preparing to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. With Argentina Alvarez is putting on a show. Starting on the bench against both Saudi Arabia and Mexico, he took his place (relegating Lautaro Martinez to the bench) already with Poland, scoring the 2-0 goal. To then repeat itself also against Australia, after Messi’s lead. He will turn 23 on January 31st, but Julian Alvarez already has a list full of goals and the most prestigious trophies in South American football: from the Libertadores to the Copa America with the River Plate shirt. In 2021 he won the Argentine championship as a protagonist: 17 goals and seven assists in 20 appearances, including the brace in the Superclasico against Boca Juniors.
