Ajax will pick up the midfielder in the summer of 2019 due to his all-round qualities. But where Alvarez has been developing at lightning speed since his youth, things suddenly seem to go wrong in Amsterdam. He is expected to be ready and running straight away, but the still young Alvarez is struggling to adapt. He never worried himself. “I always knew I could handle the level,” he told reporter Dirk Lotgerink in ELF Voetbal No. 3, which was published this week and via this link Convenient and easy to order online. Within two to three working days at home.

“I’ve already seen in training and after several matches I can meet her at this level.” But despite this self-confidence, it turned out to be more difficult than expected. The reason why Alvarez couldn’t land right away and thus didn’t raise his playing to the usual height, has nothing to do with the sport. “People may forget sometimes, but in life, family is always the most important thing,” he explains.

“More important than playing football or something as simple as winning.” In Mexican culture, family is number one, two and three. “I miss my friend Sophia and my daughter Valentina a lot,” he says seriously. Dutch law prevented his partner and daughter from coming. Sophia was not yet 21 and my daughter had just been born. The temporary solution has been found temporarily in the UK. “They were allowed into England, so they were there in London in a hotel so I could visit them as soon as I had a day off or more.”
