Ryan Chirki looks forward to Balon DO under Pep Guardiola and admits the desire to “kill” Manchester United competitors

Ryan Cherke put his attention to winning the Balloon DO after finishing his transfer in Manchester City.

The 21 -year -old joined the Premier League champion in a deal worth £ 30.6 million before his World Cup campaign.

After appearing as one of the brightest youth horizons in European football, Cherke arrived in City Fresh from his first appearance in the French national team against Spain earlier this month.

His ambition is clear – to become the best in the world – and it is believed that Manchester City is the perfect environment to make this dream a reality.

“When you see Rodri, he won a balloon prize or here,” Cherke said while speaking at the city’s World Cup training base in Florida.

“Obviously, with Manchester City, it is possible, and I am here for this. I want to win and I think Manchester City wants to win everything. This is better for me.”

Cherki is expected to be shown in the next match in the city against Moroccan Wydad AC in Philadelphia. Even before entering the stadium in the city’s shirt, it has already caught the attention of the fans, especially for his comments aimed at its local competitors Manchester United.

Cherke previously faced United in the European League. In the second stage of Old Trafford, Leon was reduced to ten men, but he still drives 4-2 before eventually fell 5-4 in additional time.

During the tie, Cherke scored the goal that set his team for 3-2, and it appears to be a gesture towards United supporters.

Thinking that night, did not retreat: “I am here to win all the games.

“I don’t like when Manchester United won the match against Lyon because I am Leoneos. Now I am waiting for the game (to) killing them.”

Cherky’s addition gives the option of another attack, especially in light of the recent departure of Kevin de Bruyne.

There is speculation about the quality of adaptation to the French young man with Guardiola’s tactical expectations, especially his responsibilities for the ball.

However, it appears that he is already associated with the city manager, who gave him a feeling of freedom in his possession.

“Pep told me:” When you have the ball, you are free, “which is very good for me because it is my first quality to help the team.”

“When I spoke with Pep, he wanted me. It was very clear. The regime, the club, the city is very good. I talked to Pep about my position on the field and we talked about what I enjoyed when I was on the field.”
