Pep Guardiola Delighted With His Manchester City Goalkeepers
The 33-year-old, playing for just the second time in seven games after being dropped for Willy Caballero, was sarcastically applauded and cheered after making a save as City went on to win 5-1.
Pep Guardiola has indicated that England goalkeeper Joe Hart’s Manchester City career is over, regardless of how well he performs at Torino.
“When he plays in that level, Sergio is unstoppable. We’re not going there to get steamrolled or give up the tie, we’re going there to win”.
“He reads when the men are free”.
But while it was generally a happy evening for Pep Guardiola’s side, Bravo’s performance will have again caused concern. “I always try to do my best, what the manager asks me to do and help the team”. celebrity news
Having a player of Hart’s calibre available should prompt plenty of interest from clubs, particularly in the Premier League given that they are already familiar with his qualities.
A mistake by goalkeeper Claudio Bravo allowed former City youngster Harry Bunn to fire the Terriers into a surprise early lead at the Etihad Stadium, but the hosts roared back with three goals before half-time.
Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero and Pablo Zabaleta all scored before half-time to spare Bravo a proper dressing down in the changing room.
Aguero swept in Raheem Sterling’s cross at the near post for City’s fourth, before substitute Kelechi Iheanacho poked in with the last kick of the game. Pep has a summer home in Abruzzo, a handsome and scenic Italian region, east of Rome, and the suggestion is that Inter could try to convince him then.
Guardiola insisted that the £15.4-million (S$26.8m) goalkeeper’s performance was up to standard.
“His performance was fantastic”, Guardiola said, “not just his runs, but he runs at the right moment, the right tempo”.
“I just congratulated him on how he played at Huddersfield and how he played today”.
