MADRID, 30 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, acknowledged that he does not know what will happen to Bernardo Silva at the close of the market and recalled the “importance” he has for the ‘citizens’, prior to the fifth day of the Premier League, that measures Nottingham Forest this Wednesday (8:30 p.m.).
“I have already said – on many occasions – how important it is for us,” Guardiola said when asked about Bernardo Silva. “There are two days left until the end of the market and then everyone will be focused on what they have to do,” added the man from Santpedor before adding that he doesn’t know what will happen to the Portuguese.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Guardiola, who already commented in Barcelona, after the charity match against ELA, that the Portuguese player really likes Barcelona. However, days later he was blunt and assured that Bernardo Silva “stays” at City.
In other questions, the Celeste coach was asked about Kevin de Bruyne, who has been at the club for seven years. “He has been a great signing. Seven years is a long time and he has been brilliant. Before in Germany, I had already seen him at Wolfsburg and he suffered when I was at Bayern. I am delighted with what he has achieved during his years here.” he asserted.
“All you have to do is turn on the television and see how he plays. Kevin defines himself by the way he plays,” added the Catalan coach, who also spoke about Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, whose performance is surprising him. “Definitely, when Erling doesn’t play we’re going to play Julián, I’m almost sure,” Guardiola added.
“All of us are impressed with the boy, for his pace, for his sense of goal, for his work ethic. For many things,” Guardiola said.
