Why Josko Gvardiol Could Make Man City Invincible

[@TheRishijoesanu]

I've been watching football since 2002/03 season and Gvardiol is the best center back prospect that I've ever seen. It's incredible how good is at so many things at just 20.

[@rumplestilskin223]

Don't lie here dude

[@ibrahimovicjunior5443]

Rio Ferdinand at West Ham & Leeds was the best I've seen since the early 2000's and i am a united hater.... Gvardiol looks like a winger stick in the centre back positions.

[@sw33tialucard]

@@ibrahimovicjunior5443except he actually knows how to defend really really well, don’t bring up Messi…Messi makes anyone look mid.

@@sw33tialucard I'm not saying he doesn't know how to defend... Read again, Ferdinand is the best i've seen a CB talent since the early 2000's

[@MetalAriel]

I‘ve watched him in the Bundesliga, he is one of the best CB prospects I ever saw. I‘m super excited what a club like City and a trainer like Guardiola will do with him :)

[@shyone8386]

And he is going to be coached by the best manager

[@terrywho22]

Kovacic and now Gvardiol. 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 Brilliant pickups by Man City. And their games will only get better... like Modric under Zidane.

[@mikeheap7978]

Arn't Manchester City already unbeatable ? Phil Foden just turned 23 and already won 5PL titles, 1 UCL title, 2 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 1 U17 World Cup and the Super Cup and Club World Cup to play for this season. He'll likely become the most successful player in the history of English football by the age of 25, with another 7 - 9 years left in his career. I think that stat confirms Manchester City are already as close to unbeatable as it's possible to get 😊.

[@sw33tialucard]

Love Foden

[@mikeheap7978]

@@mario2967 I did mention he'd be the most successful player in English football. My knowledge of European and World football players honours is not that great, but your point is taken and noted.

[@anshumansahu1087]

For those criticizing Gvardiol, Man City have not brought him for what he is now but what he might become in 3-4 years time. Real Madrid's conviction that Arda Guler and Endrick will become world class is the reason that they brought them and not because of what they are.

[@dddgtsd]

I think they're also brining him for what he is now, he's arguably a World Class CB already - plus who is criticising him? Everyone in the comments is saying how good he is.

[@MrGameControler]

@@dddgtsd he was the best CB at the world cup NOW, he's like the Erling Haaland of defenders, already great and among the best and still very young.

[@14Mydarling]

Endrick or Guller proven, where? Gvardiol was playing for the EURO 1/4 final UCL x 2 (scored vs City and Real) EL x2 (semifinal and 1/4 final) WC bronze - best CB at the WC in age of 20 LN silver with Croatia Proven in BL for 2 seasons Won 5 trophies And he’s just 21. Only Maldini was playing at that level in his ages when he was the best defender at the WC in age of 21. Arda & Endrick are talents. Gvardiol is already among best defenders itw. Pep just needs to polish him & adapt to PL & he’ll become Ferrari among world’s defenders. Amazing mindset! He just needs to stay healthy!

[@hatschi9861]

Lucio was great breaking the press by dribling and creating shots. i still remember him sprinting past entire teams in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen and Bayern

[@edwinkanyongo3477]

I believe Gvardiol is a faster & more agile Laporte

[@englanduk6131]

This signing is monumental and mental at the same time... City's defence is already amazing and now crazily they add the best, toughest young defender in the world....... Pep is a genius!!!

[@artuditu35]

Im so glad for Josko he"s a great guy wish him all the best in city❤❤

[@not2busy]

Haaland is salivating at seeing some of those forward passes

[@user.netizen11]

The lad is basically a consistent prime Van Dijk.

Elegance of Maldini

[@BR-tf7jd]

Great stuff mate. As a City fan you brought a smile to my face and the weird thing is that I saw this just now with the Gvardiol signing confirmed by City about an hour ago. I hope you're right about just how good Josko is and best of luck to Newcastle this season.

[@bgpiw]

Bro City already having the best deffenders in the world right now, Dias Stones Ake Akanji Walker Laporte... and now they signed Gvardiol.. TOO PERFECT!🔥

[@Swisswavey]

Gvardiol is brilliant, no arguments here, but those Shot Creating Action stats looked pretty similar to Ake's. The green/red bars were, i assume, from comparing against different criteria. Bundesliga vs EPL maybe?

[@nathanquisenberry495]

I noticed that too.. gvardiol has green bars on stats that are less than ake’s while he has a red bar

[@ibrahimovicjunior5443]

@@nathanquisenberry495 He takes a lot of risks, I think Gvardiol and Colwill are the best passing young defenders... they don't care about having a high pass accuracy, they play the ball vertical every chance they get.

[@rudyverse]

@@nathanquisenberry495 Yes but its mostly because of the way Leipzig and City play. City control the posession thats why even tho Ake has great numbers its not that good compared to other players, while Gvardiol does similar numbers in a much tougher environment for him.

[@wherethefanstarts5302]

Garvadol ability to hold the ball is like Jones stones

[@joejordahl6787]

Its gonna break my heart to see him go to city, man u doesn’t have enough brain cells in their scouting department to make a signing like this

[@gordonkelly]

[@caesiuum1345]

Its the fact you let De Gea go without a real replacement 😂 I pray Man U actaully produces or I fear for the results.

[@ChaosInColour]

@@caesiuum1345they did get onana

[@caesiuum1345]

@@ChaosInColour de gea for onana is going backwards for Man U. They could have gotten someone like Sommer for De Gea easily. Madrid had interest 2yrs ago for De Gea so I do not think his value has gone down drastically since then.

[@ChaosInColour]

@@caesiuum1345 I’m no United fan so no bias but Onana has potential to be a solid keeper for united. I agree Sommer would’ve been better but still I don’t think their keeper position is the problem that will strike them next season

[@eliso5973]

I am so surprised that Man City can get him without competition from other big clubs.

[@korculaamv9820]

that is because he doesnt fit in lot of playstyles some clubs play, clubs like Leipzig he helped them keep their shakey defense as they play offesnive football but end up concceding a lot which was shown last year, but Leipzig played with lot of possession and so does Croatia so going to a team playing possession fits Gvardiol perfectly

[@thelittlesignpost]

[@JimTheFly]

Those Gvardiol stats actually... don't impress me compared to Ake. Those BARS are nice, but when you look at the numbers, EVERY SINGLE ONE of those stats are LOWER than Ake's, but his comparative percentiles are showing him much higher. He's got less than half as many passes into the penalty area, but is in the 59th percentile, while Ake is in the 2nd. The groups these guys are being compared against are definitely different as all hell. (That said, Gvardiol is still frighteningly good regardless)

[@BokTork]

While I do see your point. I think we can safely assume Gvardiol will improve in all facets under Pep. Especially being a very good system fit. For him to have the confidence and capabilities already present prior to entering Pep School is really what I found most valuable

[@sw33tialucard]

Right but Gvardiol passes the eye test when it comes to ball progression and that matters a lot for City’s attacking

[@kristianbozic3413]

That's cuz City dominates the ball way more than Leipzig

[@dddgtsd]

mate Paul Dummett would have impressive stats if he played for City, lets see Gvardiol's stats after a year in the City team. Leipzig are good but nowhere near as well drilled so that will impact his stats compared to a good player like Ake in there.

With the loss of Gundugan and Mahrez, i think Man City will not do well this season. First is the moral loss of the winning team. Lossing a captain in Gundugan and also Mahrez is demoralizing to the team. Its takes time to create a winning team, the bonding between players on and off the field is difficult to replace instantly.
