Pep Guardiola on Savinho's Man City Premier League debut: “Not bad... Coming to England, playing in that way with this courage and personality, his commitment.”
Pep Guardiola: “But all of them... I could name Jeremy [Doku], I could name Erling [Haaland], I could name Rico [Lewis] - MY GOD - I could name Kevin [De Bruyne] and Bernardo [Silva]; it looks like they are 22-years-old, and unfortunately they are not.”
Pep Guardiola on Mateo Kovacic: “This is my advice; when people doubt about something in the club, we are going to break it. So, be careful... Listen, Rodri is massively important for us, but Kova is an experienced player, playing in the biggest stages.
He's a guarantee. He's an unbelievable human being, I think mum and dad because they have a boy like Kova.”

Pep Guardiola on Rico Lewis: “He saved a goal [vs @Cheslsea] because always he's in the right position. In the one-against-ones defensively, he's UN-BELIEVABLE.
“Arriving in the final third, as a full-back, in the inside channel, how many times?! In the pockets, he moves like a player few times I've seen in my life!
“He does EVERYTHING good; one-against-one defensively, blocking shots in the first-half from Nkunku, he's always ready, he moves inside and outside perfectly.
“Honestly, Rico is a top, TOP player! A top player!”

Pep Guardiola: “I know that Savio likes to play on the right, and Doku left. And normally what happens is I have to put Savio right, and Doku left. But I wanted players who go to attack more to the by-line; [Doku] right and [Savio] left.
“The secret is then [when they switched] they decided, I didn't say anything. In certain points, Doku over there [on the right], I said to Juanma [Lillo], 'What is he doing?!' And they changed, and after they started to play good.
“So that's why I learn that I have to put the players in positions that maybe they're comfortable.”
