DBasia.news – Since coaching Barcelona and Manchester City, Pep Guardiola loves to promote the young lads.
This time, he gives the chance to Eric Garcia.
Garcia paid off the trust by his impressive performance. Guardiola gives him the compliment.
Manchester City won the penalty shootout against Leicester City. The 17-year-old young lad played as the starter in the EFL Cup and played full time.
“He is a guy who has a lot of sense of the position. He is so smart; he is not the strongest in the air with the headers, he is not the fastest one, but few times do the opposition win one position where he is,” Guardiola revealed.
“He is able to guide the line and has a lot of personalities to play – good vision, good passing.”
“In the pre-season, in the United States, he was incredible. He commanded all the (defensive) line. He played against Liverpool and Bayern Munich, he was incredible.”
Not only Eric Garcia, but there are also some other young players who played, such as Arijanet Muric as the goalkeeper, Alexander Zichenko, Phil Foden, and Brahim Diaz as the starting eleven City against Leicester.
