Julian Alvarez admitted he was 'angry' despite scoring for River Plate on Wednesday night as he was asked about Pep Guardiola's recent praise for him.
Alvarez completed a £14m transfer to City in January, and will remain on loan at River until July. After that, despite talk in Argentina that he could stay for longer, City and Guardiola have said they intend for Alvarez to be part of their pre-season squad.
Guardiola praised Alvarez this week, saying he has a sense for goal that is 'worth money' and revealed that scout reports City are receiving on the Argentine have been 'excellent' since River's season began next month. On Wednesday, Alvarez scored his fourth goal in five games as River progressed to the next round of the Copa Argentina.
