“THE Guardiola discovered a new way to play after the World Cup, with one full back moving closer to the axis, just like I did. It was obvious that he had begun to be impressed by their appearances Rico Lewis and Nathan Ake. I think all footballers are selfish, they want to feel important and play games, anyone who says otherwise is a liar. For a competitive footballer like me, the most important thing is to win titles and get games, it’s not about underestimating my teammates, I just thought I deserved to play more.”

Regarding the discussions with him Pep Guardiola and his departure from the “citizens”:

“We discussed and agreed that I should leave immediately, in the January transfer window, in fact I could not do otherwise, it was a mutual decision. if she Manchester City he wanted me, he could have kept me, I have a valid contract. I always give everything for all my teams and I allow myself to be accused of having a strange character but never for disrespecting my team, my teammates and my coaches.”
