Present at a press conference before moving onto the Luton Town pitch for the 16th day of the Premier League, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola was sorry for his English midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who did not experience only a small start with the sky blue jersey this season in all competitions in 8 matches played. A situation in contrast with his status with the Three Lions, with whom he has played almost as many minutes as at club since the start of the year (195 for selection, 215 for club).
“I am really sorry. I ask for a good personality, a good character, thinking about the end. He is the perfect example. It’s just because I’m visualizing something, I’m visualizing the team and I’m having a little trouble seeing it, that’s all., said the Spanish technician about his 28-year-old player, before the trip this Sunday to Kenilworth Road on Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.). A victory would then allow the Cityzens to get back on track or even re-enter the championship podium across the Channel.
