Man City Manager Pep Guardiola: Nunes Not Ready for Midfield Role
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola states that Footballer Matheus Nunes needs improvement as he is not fitting for a midfielder.
During a brief exchange with the reporters the manager speaks on Nunes stating “He can become a good right-back due to his physicality.”
“I think he’s not a player suited to midfield because he’s not clever enough in terms of composure, but he has incredible skills and is learning a lot.”
The biggest mistake for full-backs is when they don’t react to crosses to the far post, they are often caught out.
“But he defended really well against two or three crosses, such as when Bruno put one into the far post for Dorgu.”
“He has the awareness and physicality to perform in that role, so he can play there and help us a lot.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
