In a pledge of love, JULIAN ALVAREZ’S beautiful girlfriend has assured him, “I’ll follow you wherever you ask me to.”
Emilia Ferrero, a gorgeous PE teacher, followed up her commitment by tweeting a selfie kissing the Man City striker and telling him, “I love you,” after Argentina advanced to the last 16.
Following a day one hiccup against Saudi Arabia, brunette Emilia demonstrated that their romance is moving as smoothly as the South American country’s World Cup campaign with a string of sweet posts from the Middle East.
The hockey player, who is from the same Cordoba area as her previous River Plate singer partner, is believed to have dated Alvarez briefly around five years ago before they rekindled their connection.
But it wasn’t until his move to Manchester ahead of this season that the couple made their relationship public.
Emilia, whose full name is Maria Emilia Ferrero but she goes by her middle name, posed for a selfie in an Argentine top outside Qatar’s Lusail Stadium, where Argentina faced Mexico last Saturday.
“I will follow you wherever you ask me to,” she added in a message beside the photo.
“I’m going to cheer you on for the rest of my life.”
Overnight, she tweeted images of herself putting a kiss on Julian’s cheek alongside her “Te Amo” statement – English for “I Love You” – and celebrating Argentina’s group stage victory with the footballer’s relatives.
The Manchester City player, who scored a wonderful goal for his country against Poland on Wednesday, responded to his girlfriend’s “I love you” remark in his own Instagram Story: “Me too my love.”
After scoring against Mexico and then Australia, Alvarez seemed to have solidified a spot in Lionel Scaloni’s starting lineup.
The 22-year-old has seven goals in 20 games for Man City, with a large chunk of his game time coming off the bench or from wide areas due to Erling Haaland’s record-breaking heroics.
