Guardiola under the spell of Doku
Jeremy Doku scored one goal and assisted on four others in City’s victory over the Cherries on Saturday. Bernardo Silva scored twice, Manuel Akanji, Phil Foden and Nathan Ake also found the net. But the one who most seduced the Catalan coach was the Belgian.
“What surprised me the most was that we knew his one-on-one abilities, but he is also very intelligent when he has to make a decision, said Guardiola about the former Rennes man. Sometimes he attracts one, two or three players and then the decision to make a pass turns out to be the right one.”
“ I feel like he understands everything. We make comments to him, we tell him that maybe he should do this and think about it, and he says yes and immediately applies, added Guardiola about his summer recruit. He understands the game very well. He is an incredible threat, he is very aggressive near the box, he is very good in that area. I don’t want to change his qualities, but so far in every match he has played well, especially here at home.
