It is the first reinforcement: Chivas made ‘Piojo’ Alvarado official as a new signing

The movements continue in the MX League, shortly after the start of the 2022 Clausura Tournament. After several days of rumors, this Sunday the signing of Roberto Alvarado was finally made official, which put an end to his stage at Cruz Azul and decided to continue his race in Chivas de Guadalajara.

“Verticality and dynamism. The Mexican Under-23 with the most goals and assists in 2021 comes to reinforce Guadalajara Welcome, ‘Piojo’ Alvarado! “, was the message with which the Guadalajara squad announced the arrival of the 23-year-old athlete, who had been in the ‘Cement Machine’ since July 2018.

Roberto Alvarado, Olympic medalist at Tokyo 2020, will soon join the rojiblanca squad and will become one more option for the attack. The objective is none other than to improve the Apertura 2021 campaign, in which Chivas barely made it to the playoffs after a discreet presentation in the regular stage.

“Alvarado is an attacker with a left-handed profile and is usually used by the wing, a fact that makes him very dangerous because of a changed profile, since having a good ball hit his attachment to the natural leg becomes a very important weapon to make him damage to rival. It has also been used for interior lanes, as it has a good sense of associative football; within its multiple conditions, there is the good use of the short dribble ”, was Chivas’s description of Alvarado, in an article published on the club’s website.

The arrival of Alvarado to Chivas causes the departure of Uriel Atuna, who will become part of Cruz Azul after the agreement reached by both directives.

“His quality, youth and dynamism will contribute considerably to Chivas’s task of recovering its place as one of the main entertainers of Mexican soccer and thus making its millions of followers proud.“Added the Guadalajara team about their new player.
