Manchester City recently released behind-the-scenes footage showcasing the days leading up to and following the derby match. Josko Gvardiol, a player for City, made an interesting observation regarding one of his teammates who he believed channeled the skills of Luka Modric, a renowned footballer.
The team is currently preparing to face Liverpool in a significant game at Anfield. The anticipation for the match was heightened by comments from Trent Alexander-Arnold about the importance of trophies to Liverpool compared to City. This set the stage for a fiery encounter between the two teams.
Manchester City enters the game in exceptional form, having not suffered a defeat since their match against Aston Villa back in December. The club shared footage from their training sessions in the lead-up to the game, highlighting a noteworthy exchange between Gvardiol and Kyle Walker.
Gvardiol expressed his belief that Walker displayed skills reminiscent of Luka Modric in a recent game against Luton Town. This performance was part of City’s impressive 6-2 victory over Luton Town in the FA Cup, with Erling Haaland scoring five goals. Walker’s technical ability and precise pass that set up one of the goals caught the attention of his teammates.
Walker proudly referenced his “trivela” pass in training, drawing comparisons to the style of play often associated with Ricardo Quaresma or Luka Modric. The recognition of Walker’s technical prowess added another dimension to his reputation as a solid and skilled player at Manchester City.
Overall, the footage and player interactions provided insights into the team dynamics and individual performances as they gear up for crucial matches, showcasing the talent and camaraderie within the Manchester City squad.
