Pep Guardiola calls Neymar an incredible player
There is information that Neymar could head to Etihad Stadium this summer with his current club open for sale.
What did Pep say about Neymar?
Man City manager Pep Guardiola addressed rumors linking the Brazilian to the Citizens when describing the PSG player as an incredible player. Paris Saint-Germain is open to selling Neymar if they get the right offer, and Etihad Stadium has been touted as his most likely next destination. Man City have already added Phillips and Haaland to their ranks for a combined £93m, but the Brazilian is likely to be worth significantly more given his status as the world’s most expensive player and Pep insists he’s not on the club’s radar.
It was reported that the Brazil international was directly offered by the Citizens, but their manager came out to dismiss the claim as false. Ahead of his side’s pre-season friendly clash with Club America on Thursday, the Manchester City manager said he was “so sorry” but that’s not true.
According to Pep Guardiola, he regrets them because the information they received is false. Pep says Neymar is an incredible player and according to his information he is a good guy. Let him express himself in Paris. Man City bought 150 players every summer and that’s not true. Guardiola also said that of course he regrets Neymar.
“Good mood in the dressing room is more important than tactics”
The Brazilian player may not be heading to Manchester anytime soon, but Pep is more than happy with his options after some early business in the market. Joining Kalvin Phillips and Erling Haaland for the Citizens are highly ranked Argentinian Julian Alvarez and backup goaltender Ortega, with Pep pleased with what he’s seen from the quartet so far. However, Guardiola won’t expect too much from them too soon, as he added when he asked how the new signatures would adapt that step by step. It won’t happen in one day or two days.
According to Pep Guardiola, they can’t push these players too hard. They need to get them houses, apartments in Manchester, and in the sessions what they want them to do will increase. The head coach says first impressions of Alvarez, Phillips, Haaland, and Stefan Ortega were really good – they seem like good people. Having good vibes in the locker room is more important than tactics.
