Alvarez, Is He a Number Nine?

Alvarez is a, I don't know if you'd really call him a number nine. Karl Anker compared him to a young Edison Cavani which interested me. Papi Gomez is very much left to right play and he's not going to run beyond the last line. That doesn't look like a very healthy situation at all. Martinez is another guy who potentially can go past the last line as he did in the first game. If they're without him you're going to need Alvarez because he's really the only one that can penetrate in that way - so yeah he's going to be very, very important going forward.
