Pep Guardiola apologizes to the star of the city of Man City out of the lack of game time, since he insists that he is not “personal nothing” and admits that “they deserve” to have more minutes in the field “

Pep Guardiola has issued a public apology to one of its players for lack of game time this season, admitting that “deserves” more minutes in the field.

Manchester City has one of the deepest squads in Europe, which means that players are never guaranteed regular action, even if they are attributed with a considerable price.

The player in question has been the victim of the city's strength in the numbers, starting only 12 games and registering only 1,198 minutes this term.

An extreme profession, has seen Guardiola opt for more youth options in recent times, with electrifiers Jeremy Doku and Savinho often receiving approval.

And despite its price of £ 100 million, Jack Grealish is spending a large part of his time on the margin lately, something that Guardiola feels that it is an injustice given the vast player's ability.

“I am very sorry that you do not get the minutes you could have deserved,” said the city administrator.

'But ultimately, Jeremy's contributions (Doku) or Savinho this season have been huge, that is the only reason for it.

“It's nothing personal, or I don't like Jack or I don't have confidence in him.”

Grealish has fallen to Man City since the arrival of the summer of the Brazilian star Savinho, who previously broke LaLig history.

While Savinho's production has not been particularly remarkable by consulting statistics, noting only once and helping six in 19 games, it is his work in accumulation and defensive efforts that have highlighted Guardiola, often using his ability and rhythm to break the fashion lines and opportunities.

With only 20 years of age, Guardiola seems happy to invest the game time in Savinho, seeing the sky as the limit for the extreme.

However, this has reached the expense of Grealish, now 29 years old, who would wait for regular minutes at this stage of his career.

Guardiola is still aware of the threat that Grealish can raise, but has not shown signs of taking it back to the initial fold before Savinho.

“If you give one player more minutes than another, you obviously have more confidence than him,” Guardiola added. 'But I know that its qualities, it is the impact that Savinho has.

'It is the first season (from Savinho), its influence on goals and assists brought an incredible improvement in defense and tacle in the last game in Arsenal. And that is the reason for it.

Grealish has made 148 appearances for Man City since his arrival of summer in 2021, but in a similar line, Savinho, his production has attracted Criticsm.

The English has scored only 16 goals and provided 23 assists during its period of about four years in Etihad, a record that many fans do not believe that it is close to reflecting its price.
