Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola has been particularly impressed with new winger Savinho. Praising him as his new favourite, not only for his excellent skills. But also for his football skills and ability to learn the system quickly.
Savinho, who made his name at Girona in Spain’s La Liga last season, was a left winger. But in yesterday’s game at the Etihad Stadium. UFABET Where they thrashed Sparta Prague 5-0 in the Champions League. He was deployed on the right wing, cutting in, dribbling past. And running into space without letting up for 90 minutes, providing an assist for Erling Braut Haaland’s difficult shot.
In terms of skill, Pep is not surprised because City players are already at this level.
But in terms of rapid tactical understanding, the Spanish coach admits that he has never encountered this before.
“He’s a very good winger who can play on both sides of the pitch,” he told City TV.
“He has only been with us for three months. But the level of play that Savinho has shown is very high.”
“I would like to borrow the microphone to say something. I would like to thank the person who helped polish it, Trainer Michel, who Girona gives credit to.”
Savinho has made 11 appearances in all competitions for the Citizens, making four assists and is still waiting for his first goal in the new uniform.
