Guardiola has been coaching for more than 15 years, and there's not a single season where he hasn't introduced a new player to the scene. I was certain that Guardiola would try his hardest to replicate Mahrez's profile.

When Savio or Savinho mentioned that Mahrez was his role model, he wasn't just considering him as a major figure, but also as an idea and a style of play. Guardiola wanted to achieve a difficult equation where the winger is free, skillful, and always able to win 1v1 situations, while at the same time widening the opponent's marking and expanding the pitch.

In other words, the winger would be free, but not really free! He's doing this with a purpose, within a tactical and specific framework!

Savinio is excellent because he's the version that Guardiola wanted Doku to be, the version that gives him the qualitative superiority on the wing and at the same time is useful beyond just skill. His decision-making after achieving qualitative and individual superiority is present and beneficial.

He can add an individual element that Manchester City needed amid the monotony of last season.

Savinio will be a cornerstone in Guardiola's squad because even with Haaland, he can hold his ground and allow Manchester City's players to enter the box without the ball, creating multiple scoring options.

That's why Haaland was comfortable and not isolated; this solves a problem that Guardiola suffered from last season.

Savinio hasn't lost a single individual situation! Not a single wrong decision was made. Generally speaking, with Girona, he was able to absorb the tactical awareness in Spain under Miguel Sánchez, so he's already heading to Pep well-prepared!

Guardiola loves players who can combine tactical commitment with individual brilliance, and after Messi, Mahrez, and De Bruyne, all indications suggest that the fourth player who will have some freedom that others don't is Savinio!

Seriously I don’t understand some Manchester United fans and that is something you cannot catch me doing.

Harry Maguire game a 10/10 performance against Fulham. No defender could have done better, but some fans want De Ligt to start ahead of him against Brighton.

I become a negative fan when I say the players who impress the previous game should start the next game, regardless of who’s on the bench.

Personally, I don’t see De Ligt as a better defender than Maguire. Whatever he has achieved in his previous club, De Ligt has to redo it again in Manchester.

I don’t care about names and the past. I care about what you can do tomorrow.

At the moment, Maguire is the best partner alongside Martinez until he loses form.

You need to define the meaning of gratitude if you want Ten Hag to drop Maguire for De Ligt

In 2024/25, Arsenal could become the first ever Premier League club to increase their points tally in five consecutive seasons:

2020 - 56 points
2021 - 61 points
2022 - 69 points
2023 - 84 points
2024 - 89 points
2025 - ⏳

90+ points is needed.

Please keep the following text in mind:

🚨 On a day when the defenders are competing to secure their spot, Arsenal fans are most excited about Ben White's stability.

🔸️ Ben White doesn't need to show off or make overly fancy moves; he simply focuses on doing all the basics as effectively as possible.

🔸️ Ben White is consistently dedicated, quietly maintaining his stability from the first minute to the last to ensure smooth operation of Arsenal's right wing.

🔸️ Durability and stability may sound simple, but these are the unique qualities that make Ben White stand out in the Arsenal squad.

🔸️ Even with Jurrien Timber on the scene later on against Wolves, Ben White is still the factor that gives us the most peace of mind.
BENY BLANCO is the Guy
