Thierry Henry, Arsenal icon and emblematic figure in world football, expressed his admiration for Julián Álvarez, current standout for Atlético de Madrid. During his appearance on the podcast "We Are The Overlap", he highlighted the versatility and constant effort of the world champion with the Argentina national team.
"One of my favorite number 9s right now is Julián Álvarez. We've been talking about that. He presses, he plays alone, whatever you want him to do," he stated. The former French striker also praised a recent free-kick goal by the player from Córdoba, emphasizing his ability to maintain possession and create danger without needing support.
Beyond his technical qualities, Henry also underscored Álvarez's physical and mental strength. "He played in the Olympic Games, he played in Copa América... I don't hear him say "I'm tired." The way he plays, I just like it," he commented, highlighting the forward's commitment and dedication.
