Pep Guardiola, manager of Man City, on Marmoush:
“With his energy, we knew he would perform well. He is constantly receiving compliments, so hopefully he can handle them. He attacks the area from behind and aids in our creation. Everyone, including the manager, performed better when we played the way we did today.
Regarding the Haaland injury scare, Man City manager Pep Guardiola:
“Everyone was afraid when he was down. However, he got up and left with his usual smile. He didn’t talk to me. However, the doctor has not delivered any unfavorable news, so hopefully everything is OK.
Regarding Nico Gonzalez’s overall performance and influence: “I want to share with you the reason [it] was so successful. You’ll then ask me why we didn’t do it earlier. The goal is always to do it, but it didn’t work out the first time.
“The 50/50 balls that Nico won were a huge help to us. He is intelligent and aggressive, but he is only 23 years old. It’s a huge compliment, but he feels a connection to it, like a miniature Rodri. He has adapted to the group so well and will be of great assistance to us.”
