The Manchester City manager made very strong remarks regarding a rising value in world football.
Having worked for FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has trained a host of great players. From Lionel Messi to Erling Haaland, including cream in his life as a coach.
Entering the closed circle of players most esteemed by Guardiola is a luxury that is not given to everyone. Young Rico Lewis was entitled to it. At just 18 years old, the Manchester City full-back has impressed his manager since his professional debut.
“He’s one of the best I’ve coached, by far”
The copy made by Lewis in Leipzig on Wednesday captivated Pep Guardiola. “What a player, what a player… Barely 18 years old. I was a coach for 14-15 years, I coached some incredible players. Finding a player like him, how he moves between midfield and the flank, coming from inside, finding spaces. He’s one of the best I’ve coached, by far.”, enthused the Spaniard. An exit which should not make the English insensitive.
