Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez has admitted he was 'surprised' by how much his manager Pep Guardiola rotates his team when he first arrived at the club.
The Argentine forward joined City last year and has impressed at the Etihad in his first full season - netting nine times in all competitions and taking his chance despite Erling Haaland being first choice.
But Alvarez has quickly noticed Guardiola's tendency to chop and change his starting XI, saying it took him by surprise because he 'almost never picks the same line-up'.
However, he says there are benefits to the rotation policy as it ensures that players are kept on their toes.
