Guardiola extends “Chirke skills” yet

Pep Guardiola praised “incredible skills” Ryan Cherke after he first appeared to Manchester City Winning the World Cup over Widad Kasilanka Wednesday.

Cherke arrived from Lyon this month, as City soon started adding their team after the 2024-25 campaign without a large cup. The left back, Ryan Ait Nuri, and midfielder Tijani Regends, were also brought from wolves and Milan, respectively, with Marcus Betinelli joining Chelsea to strengthen the goalkeeper.

Reginers and Cherki achieved their arches for the club in Philadelphia, where City began her campaign in the World Cup at 2-0.

Cherke played through the middle against Regends, but he was largely a peripheral figure in one side.

But he was asked about Cherke’s performance in the context of filling the void left by Kevin de Bruyne after his departure, it is clear that Guardiola was not ready to make any comprehensive data after one match.

“Of course, it’s difficult to replace Kevin, we know that,” he told a press conference after the match.

“For the quality of its enjoyment, there is no doubt about it. But at the same time, the club decided on Rayan, he has incredible skills near the box, a wonderful vision and passage, he has many things.

“(Today) was just a first game in very difficult circumstances, but I am really pleased because it is here.”

Speaking earlier to DAZN about Reginers and Cherki, Guardiola said: “It is good to play. Tijji playing really well, Rayan playing good moments. Everyone must know us and see what is happening.”

PHIL FONEN in the second minute and blow in the 42nd minute of Jeremy Doku City gave points in the GRoup Glash group.

But from a clear irritation of Guardiola, it was a red card in the 88th minute that showed Rico Lewis to challenge a slide in which he got the ball, only to follow and arrest Samuel Obeng from Widad in his face.

Guardiola was seen swinging by the referee Ramon Abti after the match, and after that he said about the decision: “(Abeer) believed that the leg was a little high, but he was on the grass. He did not touch the ball.

“For the speed they go to touch the ball – because Newton’s theory should be a little higher and the other player has decreased. Rico had no intention.

“Rico is the person who does not intend any intention to harm anyone for his style of play.

“It was not necessary, frankly, the red card, but the ruling had a different opinion and it is the president. They examined VAR, so we accept it.”
