On May 29, Beijing time, Argentine journalist Hernán Castillo reported that Manchester City has agreed that center forward Julián Alvarez will represent the Argentine Olympic team in the Paris Olympics this summer. This also means that there is a good chance that 1-2 more championship trophies will be added to the Spider's championship showroom.

This season, Alvarez has played 54 games in all competitions for Manchester City, recording a double-double of 19 goals and 13 assists, including 11 goals and nine assists in 36 Premier League games. He is the attendance king, third scorer and joint second assister in the Manchester City squad. Manchester City were able to successfully achieve four consecutive Premier League titles in the long-term absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland, and the flexible positioning of the little spider to fill in the gaps can be said to be indispensable. Even Pep Guardiola has repeatedly stressed in public that Alvarez must be given a chance to play because he is very important.

The 2023/24 European club season has come to an end, but Alvarez is still very busy. He has been named in Argentina's Copa America squad and will join Lionel Messi, Lautaro and others to defend the Copa America title. After the Copa America, Alvarez will also report non-stop to the Argentine Olympic team coached by Mascherano to play in the football competition of the Paris Olympics from July 24 to August 9.

Born in January 2000, Alvarez is only 24 years old but already has 15 trophies to his name. Prior to joining Manchester City, he played for River Plate in Argentina, where he played 102 games in all competitions in two and a half years, scoring 48 goals and providing 18 assists, and once scored 6 yuan in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. In two and a half years, Alvarez has won the Argentine Super League, the Argentine Cup, the Argentine Super Cup, the Copa Winners' Cup, the Copa Libertadores and the Argentine Challenger Cup with the team, achieving a grand slam at the club level. In addition, the little spider also won the Copa America with Argentina in 2021.

After officially joining Manchester City in the summer of 2022, the Spider's championship run is still going strong. In the 2022/23 season, he scored 17 goals and provided four assists in 49 games in all competitions for Manchester City, winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, achieving the first European treble in the club's history. During this period, Alvarez also took time to play in the Qatar World Cup at the end of 2022, and replaced Lautaroma Martinez as Argentina's main center forward, becoming Messi's best partner, scoring 4 goals in 7 games, and finally helping the Pampas Eagles win the Hercules Cup for the third time.

This season, Manchester City failed to defend their titles in the Champions League and FA Cup, but still won three titles: the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the Premier League, and the number of trophies in the Spider's Hall of Honour has increased to 15. The key is that although the championship is soft, he definitely did not lie down to win, but really made a contribution, and he deserved to win the cup.

At the moment, Alvarez is one step away from the Community Shield and the English League Cup at the moment of a superslam, and an Olympic gold medal could turn his Grand Slam into a Golden Slam. While wishing him well, we also wish Alvarez a safe return after a series of battles. After all, next season's Manchester City will need him to destroy the city.
