Pep Guardiola Press Conference | West ham vs Manchester City Live

how often how are you after you have back surgery are you are you fully fit no no thank you for asking I'm I'm getting better three weeks after surgery I'm the doctor meeting a good job and yeah the step by step I think every week will will be better watching the last two games from afar rather than being on the touchline yeah but normally have it when you have a surgery so yeah but it was was okay his people and and the player respond really well assigned to new contract of the players that you've bought in in your time here how important has he been and how important does he continue to be yeah really really important like extend from Nathan and and from Bernardo and of course recourse with the young players and the oldest one let's go to Carson all of them extend the contract was really really important and Kyle halidis is an important figure for us and and it's a player like it's not the club even the his mates demand she he could not live so and and then he decided to stay and with his wife Anna with the family and it's really really important for us really nice just on on Kyle he's he's 33 now is he three years takes him to 36 but no doubt of his age or his ability as a man his mind is there he's here on the beach and loving football will not be a problem because have a genetic like I have a few players I've seen like like him in all the conditions and genetic ones are unique and as much he enjoys he's stable in his life it will not be a problem he also said he wants to be Manchester City Captain this season with the vote the vote hasn't taken place yet or has it he said he says he wants to be Captain uh but they haven't he's already one of the captains yeah for sure the boards will be taken the next days and the players will decide which one represents as a first Captain and the other ones and finally for me Phil foden told us this week that he wants to try and be one of the best players in the Premier League he says I'm going to try and show people what I can do and then you've also got Gareth Southgate who joined the international break questioned whether Phil can play in the middle and says he doesn't often do that for the club so I guess a double-edged questioning what does he have to do to be one of the best in the Premier League and what is his ability through the middle well first of all we cannot be one of the best if you mentality said I don't want to be one of the best so this is so important when you have some Target to climb everything can start for I wanna I believe in that and the second one have incredible relation with regardless then any comment of me so looks like Emma disagree with him and I completely agree with him so in the fact that when you play outside on the mains from very different role but he knows I know that Phil can play in all positions up front in the middle and and outside right left in the pockets and but Gary Hassan the pockets have another responsibility especially without the ball sometimes you know have to be so smart to read what happened every moment um but important is he still can play in the five percent firm without the problem and this is a big big Advantage for him the last day I saw the game with a friendly game against that kotlin to start playing in the right band movement most of the time inside so the players move move right left move inside more outside so nadian is not not a weak issue but of course your new place hire the pictures possibly defensively as little less and and feel we grow up we grew up with that because with the mentality say I want to become one of the best as a mentality to improve all the time is try to listen to listen and this is a big Advantage for all of us hi Pat can you update on the fitness of John stones and Jack grealish please injure both yeah they are notable for for tomorrow are they still going to be out a little longer after tomorrow I don't know I don't think for a red star but I don't know we see step by step but uh they they knock the the the the danger from from Jack is the muscular but having incredible incredible knocking his knee and still he the demise was that is that and and John is still a little better but still have some disturbing in his muscles while he was away with Croatia as well yes um yeah something also muscular not big issue but always will be out for tomorrow being because it wasn't too long ago where he was left out of the side you said he couldn't play a specific uh role for the club Champions League final as well um he's his response how's it been from your perspective listen I'm with Kylie seven years ago sharing new science together we know each other with a without a doubt uh and and Kyle when when didn't play sometimes is for tactical reason never because it was a bad behavior or whatever but of course it's important figure you want to play all the time that's why he was thinking to leave but we talked he talked a lot with his mates with the club and then he decides so whatever plane or playing Kyle since the day one had been really a really important player for our success belongs to him yes or he has for the man of games I was so really really sad don't let him play in the final Champions League because for the way they play I believe in that build up for rightful manual maybe will help us you know a little bit and and but look how he responds since then from every pre-season games and seasons was commit with the team and and he made me realize that make me realize how important it is and how he behave on the beach and especially off and I spoke with the maids with a lot of players and Moses then tell me Kyle cannot leave so it's really important in the locker room and I think making a and a step forward and when he does is having specific qualities you cannot find all around the world so when he has to control the Best Wingers in the planets of who can do better than him and also believe with the ball he's getting better year by year and after he's going to compete with early Holland to score goals so his score against the Scuttle was Scotland so be careful early future outside of football did you see the video released by the club yeah it was really nice yeah even with that our club is getting better in this social social departments was really really good the guy who has the idea heads off so it was really good very important pitch in the beginning of the champions league on Tuesday of course with games following very quickly one after the other um does that impact upon your your team selection ahead of West Ham on Saturday yeah but first we have problems with the angels we have a lot with important important players I normally will be selected most of the kids start 11. we missed him for a long time uh that is what it is and I think the season always I believe a start right now when it started after the first International break so the transfer window is over the kids back to the school the routine the families is okay you know everyone's like everybody know exactly what uh during 10 months is going to happen over there right now and it's good to start in the position that Doha in the Premier League for the fact we make 424 winning the European super cup but the the real season I would say the season started right now for a lot of competition the star Champions League carabao Cup and in the Premier League so that's why yeah go for it iPad just two quick questions on Mateos munis signing first what kind of qualities does it bring to your squad and second in which role in your current lead field wow we can play we can play in the Holy midfielder you can play an attacking midfielder with time we could play the fullback because his physicality I think it's a you have to improve in the first Contact in the decision the One Touch I think it's not precise enough but the other quality to keep the voltage Rivers especially to drive with a ball like Kevin Kevin is an incomparable in many many things but his energy going backwards is backwards involves play in the last games as a Winger so can play in multiple multiple positions alternative if you have any special qualities it's so difficult to find that is available to dribble the players and make 10 50 20 meter with the ball and with the time he will learn you know that to be more precise in the simple things in the first stage in the first class and with the way we're training and dynamic that we have he will get it he will get it but I think he has the qualities he has not the qualities that we can improve but he has the qualities like a manager cannot
