Pep Guardiola's unexpected praise for Martin Odegaard, this is what the coach said

Manchester City is going through a difficult time at the start of the season, but it should not be an extreme concern for Pep Guardiola and company. The club has just lost certain games, mainly in the Premier League where it lost its undefeated record. However, the club has placed itself in an important way and plans to right the course in its favorite competition, the UEFA Champions League, where they are the defending champions.

The coach, Pep Guardiola, attended the press conference prior to the match against RB Leipzig. The Spanish coach touched on various topics and among them, he had a surprising comment about the captain and great star of Arsenal FC, Martin Odegaard. The player has established himself among the main footballers of the moment and has fallen wonderfully into Mikel Arteta's scheme. For this reason, Guardiola has nothing but praise for the player.

The coach spoke about the Norwegian talent of Oscar Bobb, who was recently called up by his country's senior team. “My reaction, I told him that he has to bring a bottle of wine to his coach”; Pep Guardiola joked about the call-up of one of the talents of Manchester City's youth team. However, he also had words for the footballer's teammates, such as Martin Odegaard.

What did Pep Guardiola say about Odegaard?

Jokes aside. I'm very pleased for him. The next step, hopefully Solbaken realizes how good he good the lad really is. Playing with Haaland or Odegaard, the big and great players from Norway should be good for him. “I'm really pleased,” said the Manchester City coach when he was asked about Oscar Bobb's call-up. Pep Guardiola did not hesitate to put Odegaard as one of the best players on the Norwegian team. He even compared him to Erling Haaland. The club will now have to right the course in the two main competitions where they participate. In the Champions League, they will face a complex rival like RB Leipzig.
