Some will see in these declarations of Rayan Cherki of arrogance, when others will speak of self -confidence. What we are almost sure is that the tricolor international has kept what makes his salt by exporting to England: his outspokenness. In the era of footballers bottled in media-training, the former Lyonnais has the merit of making football less sanitized.
This Sunday, Cherki speaks at the end of his training with Manchester City, while the Skyblues will enter club World Cup on Wydad Casablanca on Wednesday. The 21 -year -old attacking midfielder spoke of a bunch of subject, starting with his discussions with Pep Guardiola: “When I spoke to Pep, it was very clear: the game system, the club and the city, everything was great. Pep said to me: “When you have the ball, you are free”, and that's what I like. He told me that he liked numbers 10, but now I can play all the positions on the field ”he said in remarks reported by the Daily Mail.
The Ballon d'Or? And why not?
His creativity, Rayan Cherki intends to put it at the service of the collective to allow Manchester City to become the big bad wolf in England again … and he already had a thought for the volcanic derbies against Manchester United, on which he intends to put his paw: “I didn't like when Manchester United eliminated us in the Europa League with OL, because I am a Lyonnais. Now I'm waiting for the match to kill them. I only wanted to go Manchester City. “
Regarding comparisons with Kevin de Bruyne, whom he is called to take over, the French was clear: “I am not Kevin de Bruyne, it is the legend here. I'm here to help the team. We have the best players in the world, I work and I'm just waiting for my turn. ” Speaking of better players from the world, the ex-Lyon was able to evoke his new teammate and Ballon d'Or in reigning, Rodri. And he did not hide his admiration for Spanish, whom he dreams of imitating one day: ” Look at Rodri, he won the Ballon d'Or here at Manchester City, so it's clear that with City it's possible (to win) and I'm here for that. »» There is only to confirm.
