Speaking to the press this Monday, Pep Guardiola had some words of advice for the French player Rayan Cherki.

Rayan Cherki has recently returned from injury. He will need to win over Pep Guardiola’s trust. The Manchester City attacking midfielder would do well to heed his manager’s guidance, who is urging him to integrate better with the team.

"Rayan is one of the most talented players I’ve seen in my career. He’s a top player. But the real question is how he fits in and how he reads the game. He started well at the Club World Cup, but then he had a few weeks off. Most of the time, when the ball gets to him, the situation improves. But you don’t always have to do something extraordinary, you just have to play football. He’s a player who doesn’t feel the pressure. He’s like a street footballer. He wants the ball when he doesn’t have it. But he needs a bit of time because, in football, you learn to play with your teammates. Players like him are smart. They see everything," Guardiola revealed.
