Manchester City star signing Josko Gvardiol is particularly thrilled at the prospect of sharing the field with none other than the Norwegian goal-scoring machine Erling Haaland. In his recent interview with Manchester City, he is delighted to call Halland a teammate rather than an opponent.
Having encountered Haaland twice in the past season, with an aggregate score of 8-1 in Haaland’s favor and the Norwegian striker netting five of those goals, Gvardiol acknowledged the immense challenge of playing against him both in the Champions League and their previous Bundesliga encounters.
However, with the two formidable talents now on the same side, Gvardiol looks forward to forming a solid partnership with Haaland and believes their combined abilities could yield remarkable results for the City in the upcoming season.
The Croatian defender admitted that facing the City in the past has been a tough challenge, acknowledging the talent of their players and the electric atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium. “It’s nice to have him on my side now, but yeah, last season and the season before in the Bundesliga, he was a tough player – strong, fast, and he has everything to become one of the best in the world, Luckily I’m on his side now, and I don’t have to worry about him anymore!” Gvardiol said.
The anticipation is palpable as the City’s supporters eagerly await the extraordinary combination of Gvardiol’s defensive prowess and Haaland’s lethal attacking prowess, propelling the club to new heights on the footballing stage.
Pep Guardiola’s playful jibe on Josko Gvardiol’s “beautiful” surname
In a recent interview, Pep Guardiola mocked Josko Gvardiol’s surname. He also confirmed the transfer of Gvardiol from RB Leipzig to Manchester City for £90m. The Croatian defender can be a regular starter for the City, where he can play as a left center-back.
“Gvardiol, what a beautiful surname he has!” Guardiola commented. His confidence in Gvardiol’s abilities is evident as he sees the talented defender taking up a crucial role as a left center-back in City’s back three formation. With the Spanish coach’s history of nurturing young talents and building solid defensive units, Gvardiol’s inclusion is expected to add depth and stability to the team’s defense.
As Gvardiol settles into his new club, City fans eagerly await the promising partnership that could elevate their team to new heights in the upcoming season.
