Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola (54), was satisfied after the 5-1 victory in front of Burnley, in the 6th stage of the Premier League.
He said that from the derby with Manchester United (3-0), his team shows another face. The technician praised, in particular, the performance of Jeremy Doku in today's match.
Pep Guardiola praised Jeremy Doku
“I want the wings, in the last third of the land, to look for situations one by one or one and I have the feeling that Jeremy's decisions have improved. It was simply wow! He offered a decisive pass to Erling and sees the free spaces better than he did before,” his speech began.
“Doku is an incredible threat against the teams that defend itself crowded in its own half. Jeremy is really important. When the team is in transition, he can solve certain difficulties. Today, he controlled the ball and attracted opponents to the punishment.
Now read the game well. When Jeremy went there for the second goal, two or three opponents followed him. Now he sees when there are two or three opponents and who is the free player, to create an additional center or pass. It has improved a lot, ”the technician continued.
The match against United
In his opinion, City's victory was a step in the right direction, after a seasonal fluctuating start, which included defeats with Tottenham and Brighton.
“I think, since the match with United, the team shows another face, another body language. Even when they did not play well against Arsenal, the way they defended themselves, as they helped each other so many times. This is the key,” the Spaniard.
The next party of “citizens” will be on October 1, in the Champions League. They will move for confrontation with Monaco. In the Premier League, City will be a guest and will meet Brentford. The match is scheduled on October 5th.
