Manchester City thrashed Chelsea 4-0 in the third round of the FA Cup. One of the authors of the goals was Julián Álvarez, who scored from a penalty to stretch the advantage of the team led by Pep Guardiola. Precisely, when the Argentinian forward approached to accommodate the ball to finish from the twelve steps, he starred in a curious moment with the goalkeeper Kepa, who tried to intimidate him and divert his attention before the execution.
The Cordovan converted without problems, and after the victory, he referred to the attitude of the Spanish goalkeeper. “You try to do your thing, it doesn’t bother me at all”, he assured in statements to ESPN. And he added: “I try to be focused on mine, on what I have to do, I had already decided to kick like that”.
On the other hand, Araña was grateful to his teammates for the reception they gave him when he returned after his consecration in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. “They were all very happy, they congratulated me and greeted me with great emotion. We all know what it means to be a world champion, not everyone can achieve that and it is something that every player dreams of. It was my turn to be part of the Argentine National Team and the recognition is very nice,” he said.
Lastly, Julián spoke of his good present in view of the challenges that come to Manchester City. “Personally I am very well, I always try to improve and be available to the coaching staff. We know that difficult games are coming that can define the different tournaments this season, so we will be working in the best way to do it in a great way” , hill.
