Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised his players after their 2-0 win over Everton.

“Haaland? He is incredible “

City won 2-0 against the Toffees thanks to a double from the Norwegian striker late in the match. A winning return to the pitch which won the admiration of his coach. “Erling (Haaland) is back. When the ball is there on a corner… and it finishes its race, it’s incredible.”

The Catalan did not fail to praise the opponent either: “I told them, they didn’t believe me. They felt it. We were there and we didn’t concede a single shot on target and, of course, they are incredibly well organised. Ultimately, the changes made in the second half gave us another rhythm and, of course,

“In the first half our body language was not good, we were always complaining. If you want to give your best, body language must be in the right position and ultimately we have taken three extremely important points,” added Guardiola.

Kevin De Bruyne only played the last half hour of the game. Guardiola explained this choice: “Kevin (de Bruyne), since he came back, is very fresh in his head and in his legs, that’s why sometimes I don’t want to bring him into play and the impact is greater than at the start “.
