Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken highly of Nico Gonzalez, who joined the club in the winter transfer window. The Spanish specialist described the new player as an important player for the team and a player who will play a big role in the future.

A talent worth 60 million euros

Manchester City bought Nico Gonzalez from Porto in the winter transfer window for 60 million euros. This transfer is of strategic importance for the "city", as they aimed to adequately fill the place of one of their main midfielders, Rodri, after his injury. Guardiola expressed great confidence in the young man, speaking about his versatility and tactical level.

Guardiola: "Nico is very important for our team"

Guardiola said about Gonzalez:
"He is a very important player for our team! Rodri is currently out with an injury and Nico can play in his position. He is young, he is only 23 years old, but he has the ability to play perfectly in the "6" and "8" positions. He has experience in finding empty spaces and entering them accurately, he is physically strong, he can put the opponent in a difficult position."

According to the specialist, Gonzalez's academic preparation is at a high level, and he has observed this since he grew up at Barcelona:
"I know him well from the Barcelona academy. The training there is at a high level and Nico went through that school. His father, Fran, also worked for us. Therefore, I have a lot of information about him."

The future of Manchester City

Guardiola stressed that Nico's arrival is also important for the club's long-term plans:
"We are very happy to have him at City. The club has invested a lot of effort in making this transfer happen and we are confident that Nico will prove that this decision was the right one with his performance."

Thus, Nico Gonzalez has begun his new career at Manchester City. What results await him in the team remains to be seen, but Guardiola's confidence and project indicate that he can play an important role at the club. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
