"Haaland? At River I played alongside other strikers"

Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez said it is a privilege to play alongside Erling Haaland and stressed that he can learn a lot from the Norwegian attacker.
"It's a privilege," Alvarez said at a press conference. "It's always great to be alongside the best in the world. We are the same age, but we can learn a lot of things from each other. We both want the best for the team," he said.
The Argentine is expected to start against Sevilla on Wednesday in City's group-stage clash. Alvarez has not had much playing time this season, but he knows his chance will come: "You have to accept it. I don't have a lot of experience in many teams either. At River there were times when I didn't play much. In the national team I'm not always a starter. I try to train hard and be ready.
On Haaland, who will miss Wednesday's game due to injury, Álvarez added that their styles are different, but that they can adapt: "I like to play in different positions. At River I already played alongside other strikers and I'm used to these situations. I have confidence in my quality and the rest of the players also have faith in me.
