"Man City" coach Jose Guardiola explained why he decided to turn the team's newcomer Riyad Mahrez into a substitute football player.
The record "citizens" purchase last summer cost 60 million pounds, but since the end of December he has not started in the Premier League matches.
"Yes, I have a reason. My reason. I am the reason," repeated the Catalan.
"He is absolutely innocent and does not feel any reason why he ended up on the bench.
I say this specifically because R.Mahrez trains incredibly well, and his talent is immeasurable. However, at the moment we have five attackers and, for example, in the last matches Leroy Sané also did not play.
Now B.Silva and R.Sterling are in top form and that is why I have to disappoint other players," explained J.Guardiola.
