He will play alongside Walker and other Manchester City players as they hope to clinch a massive number of major titles.
While expressing his bliss to the club during his press conference, he vowed that Manchester City have driven his playing style to another level and expressed his other ordeals.
In his words, he said:
“It makes all the sense to extend my contract with Manchester City.”
“I have learned how to become a more versatile player. I feel I can play in different positions now, not only right-back or left-back.”
“I have learned how to become a more versatile player. I feel I can play in different positions now, not only right-back or left-back.”
“I feel I can play in several positions on the pitch, and I think (it) is easier in this team because of the quality all the players have. It’s easier to play in this team than in any other team.”
“I think this team has great potential”
“When you see the starting eleven and the players that are on the bench, you can see the amazing squad we have by how many quality players are left out of the starting eleven.”
“You can play with eleven players and change the whole team for the next game, and we don’t lose quality.”
“That factor makes us better players because we have competition in the team.”
“In my first months, I wasn’t extremely happy about my decision to join Manchester City,”
“I came from a club that I also like a lot, Juventus. I spoke to my girlfriend, and we agreed that I had to make the best out of myself to be able to play”
“As of December-January onwards, I started playing regularly so that makes a player happier. We players always want to play, but always with the aim of helping the team to achieve its goals.”
“Since I arrived, Bernardo Silva has been a great friend to me and a great support to me, both for me and my family.”
“I have known him for a long time, we have built a good friendship since we were young.”
“He has helped me a lot here. Also, I knew Ruben Dias from Benfica, but not as much as I knew Bernardo. Bernardo is from the same generation as I am.”
“Ruben Dias has also helped me a lot. Both are very calm people, so they help me to be more relaxed as well.”
“My goals for this season would be to win all the trophies we are involved with Manchester City and also qualifying for the World Cup with Portugal – and win it”
“I’m very competitive, I always want to win and that is probably why I have the personality I have.”
“In this club, I’m always confident to succeed. We have a lot of players with bright futures.”
“Phil Foden is going to be one of the best players in the world, if not the best.”
“The atmosphere around the first team is fabulous and I think that is one of the key factors that made us win so many trophies lately.”
He's staying! 🙌
