[4/14, 8:53 AM] Karim Benzema: Julian Alvarez suffered his first setback since joining Manchester City.
Sara Duque, the bombshell English teacher that the Argentine striker had in the Premier League, 'abandoned' him to move to London, where she will give private lessons to Tottenham player Richarlison, according to her own social media post.
[4/14, 8:54 AM] Karim Benzema: Duque, who was born in Portugal, works as a "linguistic trainer" for players and coaches. She speaks fluent Portuguese, English, German, French and Spanish, and decided to specialise in the world of football.
Her technique, as she explains, is based on memory, especially of certain essential elements for the world of sport.
"From scoring the wonder goal of the World Cup to improving his communication skills, I am excited to start working with Richarlison," Duque wrote on Instagram.
"As an ambitious person myself, I love working with ambitious players who share the same drive, and Richarlison is no exception.
"Despite facing language barriers, Richarlison has kept pushing forward and exploring different methodologies to find the approach that works best for him.
"And with my bespoke language program, I'm confident that he'll soon be killing it in interviews and communicating with confidence."
