Pep Guardiola considers Argentina the favorite for the World Cup
Argentina’s Juan Alvarez, who joined from River Plate this summer and has already impressed despite being Erling Haaland’s backup, has spoken about the dialogue between Pep Guardiola and City’s players.
“Pep once spoke to the Portuguese players and the Spaniard Rodri about who could win the World Cup. They were saying that Portugal, France and other European teams were favourites, and Guardiola was pointing at me,” Alvarez said, according to The Mirror.
Juan Alvarez, 22, hopes his good form at Manchester City will earn him a call-up to Argentina’s squad for Qatar. The team coached by Lionel Scaloni has not won the trophy since 1986.
