Man City boss Guardiola hails Gvardiol: We had a chat

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola hailed the performance of Josko Gvardiol after victory over Luton.

The defender struck in the 5-1 win on the day.

"[He has] improved a lot," said Pep.

He arrived and in some periods was confused. He lost a lot of balls, every time he had the ball he wanted to make exceptional things.

We talked together and said the defender had to do the most easy, simple things.

You have to demand the creativity from Doku for example.

He got incredible the message and played really well, defensively very strong and can play in the middle, more back and he's difficult to find - he's a left footer.

You find with the left footers they don't use much well the right foot, but he is really good with the right, more comfortable with the right than the left.

He scored a good goal in Madrid and in the first half had another chance and he is now a threat in the final third.

He receives in central positions when the wingers come with two or three players to make two against one, three against one, against Doku or Jack, he's free and close to the goal.

He has an incredible talent and I encourage him to do it again and again and again."
