Pep Guardiola’s admission regarding the Manchester City winger and what he said to Jeremy Doku before West Ham.
Following Jeremy Doku’s outstanding performance in the 3-1 victory over West Ham, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola mentioned him.
Even Pep Guardiola acknowledged that Jeremy Doku’s performance at West Ham was not indicative of what to expect from him in his new team.
Manchester City paid Rennes £55.5 million to acquire the 21-year-old winger this summer, but assistant Juanma Lillo warned against placing too much pressure on him too soon.
He could only display hints of his potential against Fulham.
On his second outing, he terrorized West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal and scored the crucial equalizer in a 3-1 victory for the Blues, demonstrating his ability to quickly impact games.
At the mere mention of Doku’s name during his press conference at the London Stadium, Guardiola nodded in agreement and did not require an invitation to discuss how well the new player had performed in City’s fifth consecutive Premier League victory.
The Blues are aware that it will take time for any player to adjust to this setting, but Doku has raised the bar.
I thought he was a little bit shy [against Fulham] while I was in Barcelona, he admitted.
It is typical for the team that won the Triple Crown after only two or three days of practice.
Nào, not today. We advised him to use his strength as a winger and attack when it was one against one or two; alternatively, if he lacked the instinct to advance, he should pass the ball back to Josko [Gvardiol] and attack once more.
It’s okay to use your quality and lose the ball.
“From the first minute, he was aggressive and determined and did many, many good things.
He started today to demonstrate the quality that we believed was there—not just the goal.
“We have to be patient when we invest a lot of time and money in a young player like him.
I’ll be honest; I didn’t anticipate him to perform at this level in just his second match for Man City.
“Be patient and learn when to receive the ball, even if your game isn’t very good.
He passed the ball to Kyle [Walker] in close proximity against Fulham, but today he was higher.
He must learn these procedures, and we are always here to assist him.
Additionally, each player must be authentic. All of the players are present because they are very high quality.”.
