"Manchester City” club head coach Pep Guardiola, after a 4:0 victory against "Newcastle United,” praised the new midfielder Nico Gonzalez and Savinho, who joined from "Girona.”

"I didn’t expect such a significant contribution from Savinho in his first season in England. So many goals, so many assists...”

"From my time at ‘Girona,’ I knew he was a great player, but I didn’t expect the Brazilian to have such an impact, as he has in most matches since joining the team.”

"N. Gonzalez is the little Rodri. His involvement helps us win 50/50 situations. ‘Man City’ made a fantastic transition for the future.”

"His participation in duels is very important. He is very far from many other things, as Rodri is the best player.”

Nico Gonzalez played the full 90 minutes yesterday.
