Pep Guardiola chooses the irreplaceable player and it is neither Haaland nor Julian Alvarez

Manchester City managed to defeat Manchester United in an extremely important Derby for the citizen team. Guardiola's team was superior from start to finish and the reality is that he significantly positioned himself as one of the contenders for the title in this new season. On the other hand, the team coach spoke about the high level of his team and emphasized the great performance of a particular footballer.

Pep Guardiola spoke about Bernardo Silva, who has been one of the most vital players for the English team since he arrived on the team. “We were scared to lose Bernardo Silva in the summer! He is irreplaceable. I could take 10 minutes talking about what Bernardo means for me and for us. We love him. Everybody loves him in the locker room”, told Sky Sports. The Portuguese player seems to be much more important than many imagine.

At 49 minutes, after the break, City put together a great play that ended in Bernardo Silva's boots so that the Portuguese sent a cross from the left and the 'Android' appeared unmarked at the far post with a hammer blow to win for the second time to the goalkeeper. Phil Foden wanted to join the party and he did so thanks to Haaland. After a rejection by Onana in the 80th minute, the Norwegian took the ball and saw that the Englishman entered the small area alone so that he could simply push the round.

Manchester City can only improve

With this result, those led by Pep Guardiola remain in third place in the standings with 24 points, just like Arsenal. The 'Gunners' are second for best goal difference and Tottenham remains first with 26 points. For his part, Haaland reached 11 goals this season in the Premier League. The team seeks to emulate what was achieved last season with the treble, but it will not be easy.
