Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was impressed by 19-year-old right-back Rico Lewis’ performance in the club’s 2-0 win over Chelsea. Guardiola praised Lewis, describing him as a “top player” who excels in all aspects of his game, including defensive duties and creating overloads in the middle. Lewis, who started over Kyle Walker at right-back, put in a fantastic display and gave Guardiola a lot to consider for the next game.
Lewis, who had a standout performance against Chelsea with 62 touches, 28 accurate passes, and 8 recoveries, showcased his maturity and comfort on the pitch despite his young age. Guardiola now faces a tough decision on whether to keep Lewis in the starting lineup for the next game against Ipswich Town or bring back club captain Kyle Walker. It would be difficult to drop Lewis after such a high-level performance, as he proved to be a valuable asset to the team.
Overall, Guardiola was delighted with Lewis’ performance and acknowledged his versatility and defensive abilities. Lewis’ impressive display against Chelsea solidified his position as a top player for Manchester City, and Guardiola will have to carefully consider his lineup decisions moving forward to ensure Lewis continues to make an impact on the pitch.
