Pep Guardiola has a habit of publicly praising his own players. Recently, it was Rayan Cherki who tasted his coach’s fiery speech. But on the pitch, the Manchester City coach does not always make his creators play together. This is the case with the former Lyonnais and Phil Foden. And here’s why.

“It’s a very possible option to have them play together. I’m not going to say that I don’t like these kinds of players, but you have to understand what it’s like to play in the Premier League, with the physicality that it involves. We need to find the right balance. We saw it against Villa, we weren’t strong enough to hold on. They will learn”Confided Guardiola at a press conference.
