Alvarez with that energy and enthusiasm is infectious to the other players and to the crowd watching.£17 million! And his confidence and creativity is infectious. I will say it…Messi’s legacy is what it is, but he has been more effective in this tournament when Alvarez has been on the pitch.
Incredible run this.
That run had Tevez written all over it.
The kid has been flat out with not much break since last year before the start of the season with river plate. If Argentina win Sunday I'd say city should give the kid a good 2 or 3 weeks off to recharge
Lol - and so it starts - the sports scientists. Rest our in form players or anyone who doesn't play as well as they did in a previous game. Let's see how the hungry, 22 year old recovers with all the 5 star facilities at his disposal. Perhaps a day or two off training?The kid has been flat out with not much break since last year before the start of the season with river plate.

It would depend on him really. With most players I would agree, to play for as long as he has without a break with those energy levels is outstanding.
Perhaps a weekend in Blackpool will do the trick.
He will at most likely be starting one match a week so that will help.

A breakout world cup performance from a South American star who we have already signed for a discount price, who grew up watching cherished City legends and dreaming of playing for Manchester City Football Club just like they did. Someone pinch me.Getting it back after a few deflections or half tackles because you just keep powering through is very Tevez-like.
He looks like a player that grew up watching and immitating an incredible generation of Argentine forwards.
I'm of the opinion they are lucky to play football and get well paid for it, get out there and play and train as hard as required.Fatigue is as much mental as physical.
All the time he has been with us he has been adjusting to a new country a new language, new team mates, new ways of training etc.
His training intensity will have been high he has had to concentrate on tactical plans if used as a substitute.
Do not underestimate what he has been through and achieved already.
I am not predicting with assurance what will happen but it would not surprise me at all if mental fatigue is a problem for him for a significant time after the world cup.
