Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has listed two things Kelechi Iheanacho must do to force himself back into the Manchester City team.
The Super Eagles forward has only started three Premier League matches this season under the Spaniard, and with Brazilian striker, Gabriel Jesus, set to arrive in January, his chances will be further limited.
With Guardiola opting for a lone-striker system, Sergio Aguero is his first choice.
When asked what would have to happen to get Iheanacho more first team opportunities, Guardiola said: “Change the coach maybe! (first)
“Of course he deserves to play, but there are many, many others who deserve to play too.
“Our job is so uncomfortable for these kind of decisions.
“Normally when these guys don’t train good, when they are not nice guys with his team-mates, it doesn’t matter, but that is not the case with Kele.
“My advice is keep going, keep fighting, (second) sooner or later everything is coming back, and of course he’s going to have his minutes.
“Until now he played good, but in the big teams sometimes that happens. You can play just 11 players and that’s all.”

Pls don't use that as an excuse to waste him on the bench, remembered its through gradual training that monkey jump from tree to tree.
ReplyDeleteI sense that this man is both racist and full of ego. First it was Yaya Toure now it's Kelechi? Thank God the lad is young with potential and can play in any team at the highest level. His mates at Arsenal are given good opportunities, this is not an excuse at all, Mr. Coach
ReplyDeleteThis coach is too tough o... Well, God has plan for him and not you bcoz, u are mere human being..... May be, u want to push him to his jocker....
