MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “Of course I want to meet De Bruyne, but after the match. I’m not surprised by his expertise in Italy because he’s someone who adapts quickly. He doesn’t need time to perform well. He’s unique because he provides talent, vision, pace. McTominay? He too has been put in the conditions to do extraordinary things in the Azzurri shirt. Conte is a top-notch manager who has left his mark everywhere. It doesn’t surprise me.” Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said this in the press conference to introduce tomorrow’s Champions League home game against Napoli. “Are we favorites for the Champions League? I don’t think that’s the case this year. We just want to have fun and enjoy this journey. There are many difficulties. We’re only focusing on tomorrow’s match. There are many games to play, but if we start badly, it’s not the best thing. Last year it went badly against Inter, let’s hope it goes better,” added Guardiola.
“Over the last decade, we’ve always had incredible goalkeepers. Gigio Donnarumma is coming to stay here for many years. He’s obviously a top-class player,” said Guardiola. “Haaland came here to win a lot, and he’s helped us a lot to do that. He did well last season, but now he’s more mature, even though he’s still very young.”
