Manchester City has a string of successes and Rayan Cherki stands out. The SkyBlues recorded four straight victories in the Premier League and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in the Champions League (2-1). They also won the Carabao Cup against Brentford (2-0) this Wednesday, qualifying for the semi-finals. The Frenchman Rayan Cherki, scorer, largely contributed to this dynamic.
The French international was found on the edge of the area on a corner, cleared an opponent and fired a powerful shot into the top corner, celebrated “à la Haaland” by the former Lyonnais and widely shared on social networks. Even Erling Haaland couldn’t resist commenting: “What a player”under a publication by Cherki on Instagram.
“He can get even better”
The Frenchman was then replaced by Bernardo Silva, shortly after the hour mark. And Pep Guardiola delivered his analysis. Initially admiring, the Catalan coach praised the talent of his attacking midfielder: “He’s an exceptional player and he scored a fantastic goal. Even a blind person could see it.”
But Guardiola also wanted to send him a clear message:
“I’m happy that he opened the score, but after that I think he didn’t play very well. It no longer fulfilled its defensive role, because it had lost its energy. What I like about Savinho is that he always gives his all. He (Cherki) is young, but still very aggressive and, like the others, he can become even better when he makes the right final decision. » Rayan Cherki is warned.
