hehehehe.......Nigerian attacker, Kelechi Iheanacho has found playing time hard to come
by with coach Pep Guardiola favoring to use Gabriel Jesus or Sergio
Aguero as a lone forward. The coach says he admires Kelechi's qualities
but prefers to play with a lone striker and Kelechi finds himself at the
end of the pecking order. He said:
"Kelechi now isn't playing for the last games. It's a pity for him
because he's another guy - all the African guys I train in my life
always they are amazing how they are like professionals in the training
sessions.
"But I like normally one striker, not two. Of course, when Sergio
[Aguero] was injured, players play the game. But then Gabriel came and
Sergio didn't play, so the space is what it is. But it is going to
happen this situation with Gabriel so Sergio can't play all the games
and, of course, he [Iheanacho] is going to help us.
"I know his quality. I know, of course, he's young and has a lot of
things to improve especially in winning duels and be strong in some
positions.
"But he's a guy who, in the boxes, is really good. He likes to come a
little bit out of the box to play, but arriving at the right tempo and
attacking the first post is amazing. So, as a guy, he doesn't need many,
many chances to score a goal."
Iheanacho has bagged six goals in 20 games across all competitions this season.
