Some may wonder about the role played by the Spanish coach, Pep Guardiola, in order to develop the performance of Manchester City players and make him dominate most of the local leagues in England since his arrival, which is demonstrated by captain Fernandinho, through his personal experience with his coach.
Fernandinho, captain of Manchester City, the English Premier League champions, praised his coach Guardiola, saying that he helped him to develop his level of performance tremendously, while the veteran Brazilian midfielder prepares to play his last game in the colors of City against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Fernandinho, 37, has played a prominent role in City's career since joining him from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013. During this period, he won the English Premier League title 4 times, the FA Cup once and the League Cup 6 times.
Fernandinho can also win the Premier League title again on Sunday if his team beats its guest, Aston Villa.
Regarding Guardiola, Fernandinho, who will become a free agent in the summer, told City's official website, "Since he joined the club, the way City has performed under his leadership has completely changed. For this reason, he is considered one of the best coaches in the world. Of course, he has (improved my performance to the best level)."
Fernandinho added, "When he took over the club I was already 30 years old, so I had worked with good coaches before. But when I started working with him I started to see football from a different perspective. I understood football a lot better. It makes you see football in a different way." .
Under Guardiola's leadership, Fernandinho played in the center of the defense in the past and achieved clear success in this position.
Fernandinho also said that playing under Guardiola's leadership was "amazing. He certainly helped me raise my level of performance and my understanding of football as well."
