While Álvarez may not have the blistering pace expected from an out-and-out striker, his speed is still very respectable for his alternate position, CAM or secondary forward role.

One of Álvarez’s biggest strengths. His finishing inside and outside the box is clinical, especially when shooting with his dominant right foot.

His excellent stamina allows him to press relentlessly and remain effective deep into the game.

Álvarez has solid vision and awareness. His passing and link-up play are smooth, which is why he transitions so well into the CAM role.

Technically sound and confident in possession, Álvarez controls the ball cleanly even in tight spaces. His dribbling feels fluid, and his body movement makes him hard to dispossess.

Despite not being tall or bulky, Álvarez plays with strength and determination. He can hold his ground in duels and shield the ball effectively.
