Álvarez accumulates 23 league matches and . He has given two assists and has scored two goals. Average 65 minutes per game, as he was a player who was repeatedly substituted. The latter does not mean that he had a bad course, on the contrary, it is part of the adaptation process that he has had once he took over the midfield.
Average 1.5 interceptions per game and 65. 5 touches of the ball per game. The ball goes through your feet. He does not shine for his skills as a creator, but he has been enhancing his skills in a club that plays “total football”: ball possession and direct play, mobility and arrival en masse on goal.
There are three games left in the ‘Machín’ season: Feyenoord (9/5), VVV Venlo (13 / 5) and Vitesse (16/5). They will be games where Hag will likely rotate his top footballers and give a chance to those who didn’t have it throughout the campaign.
After completing his commitments with Ajax, Edson Álvarez will have a great commitment with the Mexican team: Gold Cup or Tokyo Olympics . His wish is to attend the Olympics, but he was willing to join the team that most required it.
