Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola claims that his team lost in the correct way in the humble Sunday’s defeat against Liverpool, predicting a “brilliant future” for the young group.
At an average age of 25 years and 68 days, it was the joint youngest line that Guardiola has named for a premier League facility. The last time the young man, City, beat Watford in 2020, a totally different task to face a Liverpool team that stormed toward the title.
Kevin de Bruyne, Nathan Ake and Ederson increased their age at Etihad Stadium, but Savinho, Rico Lewis and Abdukodir Khusanov are only 20 years old, with Josko Gvardiol, Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku of 23 or young people.
Given the circumstances, with the city that dominates possession and traits – Even having a goal of Omar Marsmoush dismissed out of play, Guardiola was pleased with much of what happened.
“If you lose, you have to lose the way to lose today. I saw a lot of things that this club has a bright future with the players we have,” said the head of the city Sky Sports.
“Except Kevin de Bruyne and maybe Nathan Ake, all players are so young. The club decides below for the future, there is a brilliant future for this club in the coming years.
“Everyone knows that part will be here next season for older players, but we have to create for the next step. They can be broken behind.
“We are very far. We will see in the future. What we have done in previous seasons is good, but now we are far from them. We have played with the personality that was really good.”
It could be too late for Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder, a verifiable city legend, will turn 34 in the summer loses its influence on the pitch.
De Bruyne went over against Real Madrid in the second game of the Champions League in the half week and was the first player to have Guardiola chose to change after returning to the XI for this game. His contract is in the summer and a lucrative golden sun movement is being called.
