Rayan Cherki shone during Manchester City’s victory against Bournemouth (3-1) in the Premier League this Sunday, delivering two assists to Erling Haaland. Back after a thigh injury which had kept him away from the field since mid-October, the 22-year-old Frenchman once again impressed his coach Pep Guardiola, shortly after scoring a goal and providing an assist against Swansea in the League Cup.
Present at a press conference after the match, the Catalan technician praised the talent and performance of the former Lyonnais, while recalling that his adaptation to the English championship continues. “His vision of the game in the final third is excellent. He shows consistency and boldness. But given our dynamic style of play, we need to give him more time to adapt to the pace of the Premier League.”he said. Against the Cherries, Cherki showed some difficulty in pressing, despite a very convincing offensive performance.
