However, in the case of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez, things are certainly different. After signing a contract with the English club, Julian Alvarez gave a gift to someone he holds dear to his heart.

Julian’s gift was for Rafael Varas, the coach who accompanied him during his early days playing in Calchin. The striker arrived at the age of four to the Futura Estrellita school and then went to try out at Club Atlético Calchín, where Varas was the coach. The gift that the striker gave him was nothing more and nothing less than a Kangoo van zero kilometers, a sign that Julian does not forget his roots.

The coach from Calchín, also distributes food products and upon receiving Julian’s gift, he said: “I am a public employee and soccer coach, but for the last two years I have been delivering things to supermarkets.I used to do it with my Ford Ka but it was getting too small.Luckily I have a lot of customers. And he added: “I was happy with the River shirt signed by him that he gave me last year”.
