Alvarez: I m eager to win more

The Argentinian has won a trophy in his short career and is eager to add another trophy to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Julian Alvarez has performed well in Atletico Madrid's debut season, eager to win the Club World Cup, bringing a perfect end to the season

In the two years at Manchester City, Julian Alvarez scored 36 goals, sent 19 assists and lifted six trophys. However, despite these impressive numbers, the Argentine also held up the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with Argentina during this period, starting only for Manchester City.

This is his desire to play a more important role, when he was 24 years old, he moved to Spanish giant Atletico Madrid to join fellow countryman Diego Simeone and numerous 2022 Qatar champions.

Alvarez shines in the Spanish capital. At the time of writing, he has scored 29 goals, becoming Atletico’s top scorer, while delivering six assists. The most important thing for Alvarez is that he has more playing time than any other non-goalkeeper player in Simeone's team.

Therefore, he did not let down his wishes and became the core of one of the elite European teams. While Atletico Madrid quit in the La Liga battle and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, he will be eager to end a remarkable debut season by leading Los Rogibrancos to win the glory of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States next month.

FIFA: How do you feel about the FIFA Club World Cup?

Alvarez: I'm really looking forward to it because it will have the best teams in the world. It would be very special to be there, to participate and represent this club in La Liga. It's great to see everyone excited about this game, especially our fans.

able to connect with Atletico fans outside of Spain who may be able to watch the game in the United States, what does that mean for everyone in the club? We know that this club has fans all over the world and we always feel their love and support on social media. There are very likely Atletico fans in the United States, and it will be a great occasion and they will cheer us on.

How far can you go in this game? What goals does the team want to achieve? The goal is obviously to compete and win the championship. We know it will be a tough game, but we will be ready to meet it in the best way and go as far as possible.

How much does Diego Simeone's philosophy resonate with you? It seems not just a tactical or strategic approach, but an all-inclusive way of life...

As you said, Simon's spirit is almost a way of life; he really embodies that with his passion and commitment. We look at it the same way, leaving everything there until the final whistle sounds and giving our all.

Is the prospect of winning more trophys inspiring you?

Yes, I won a lot of trophys at a young age, or rather, in a short career. I have a real competitive motivation. I love winning, I always crave more, so, for me, it’s all about trying to win, bringing the trophy home, fighting to reach the peak that I can reach.
