riad welcome to Manchester City what's
your overriding feeling now that you've
signed for the club I'm very happy very
pleased and honored to sign for this
club and I think is a good thing yet
you've seen the facilities here at the
CFA what what are your first impressions
this is amazing it's a very a big
training ground and everything is in
there everything you need so I'm very
exciting - looking forward to walk here
you've decided to take the number 26
year which is the same number that you
had at last day is there any
significance in that number for you
no not specially but just because I
start with this number in England and
you know a performin I want I want the
title with these numbers were so I think
he was a good decision to keep him
congruent with it I'm sure you watch
city very closely last season what did
you make of the performances of the team
unbelievable to reach the hundred points
as well all the record-breaking and
stuff so last season was a amazing
season for for for the club and the hope
will continue the same at the same level
or maybe more I've been watching like
everyone and it's been unbelievable yet
this is desire at this Football Club to
not just win football matches but to
play beautiful football as well is that
something as a player who is looking
from the outside and this club is that
does that attract you to come here the
fact that we try and play in a certain
way of course of course but as well it's
because it's big club and I want to win
titles and a noise is the best club here
to try to win things with the manager
with the team so yeah everything so at
Leicester you were almost a guaranteed
starter City these probably I think
people would suggest more competition
for places here how is a footballer do
you approach that mentally Gino do you
have to be prepared maybe not to play
every single game at this Football Club
you know in football there's always
competition and we have we we must have
competition in the gym if we want to
improve personally and collectively so I
think it's a good thing to have a lot of
very good players so we can push each
other and improve the the squad in the
gym you've always struck me as a player
who if he's if he's happy Football Club
that's when he plays his best football
is that is that what it's like for you
yeah exactly exactly but sometimes you
know football goes down and up sometimes
you know happy but you have to keep have
to stay strong and show all the quality
so I think of course for footballer when
he's happy he gives he gives everything
but it has to it has to give everything
even when he's not happy so does the
nothing I think one of the words that
she was most often to describe you is
exciting you know you like to beat
players you like to create space do you
think that with that style you can bring
something to this team that perhaps we
haven't got you know you can bring
something a little bit different
although I don't like to speak about
myself too much you know I'm just saying
I'm gonna try to give my best and have
the team of course bring something
different but I don't know you know I'm
not gonna
speaker with more quality or you know
just have to give my best and and help
the team that's the most important you
the players that city have signed over
the past two seasons pretty much all of
them have said that working with pep
guardiola is one of the you know a big
reason why they signed what is it about
him his management style that attracts
players well you wanna look everywhere
he's been won a lot of titles ambassador
nine by a unique and even in city the
first year the first year was a bit
difficult but he showed after de we've
done last year with the chin was amazing
and unbelievable and of course he says
it's a type of manager who likes to play
who when you see it is team you can see
is like you can tell his rajala you know
in hobbies like printing and the team so
I'm very happy to to play on to play
under him and I hope we will achieve a
lot of things yeah
you've already delivered some brilliant
performance exactly at sea out for
lastly what is it do you feel that makes
you so comfortable playing in in our
stadium no I just scored you a score
that thing here but yeah we bid we bit
much starting like three years ago
with Leicester but it's a it's a very
good stadium I like the atmosphere here
the fans are very good as well so I'm
very excited to start here I mean we
scored a hundred and six goals in the
Premier League alone last season so we
are a team who likes to to go forward
and play on the front for that should
suit your game shouldn't yeah that's
perfect for me that's what I'm about you
know and that's why I'm very happy to
sign for this club because I know it's a
it will shoot me
you've had to fight to establish your
career haven't you remember you went on
trial at Sumerian you moved to LA Havre
and then you stayed at Leicester in the
championship so you've done things the
hard way now you're a premier league
winner and an international footballer
it's probably been difficult at times I
mean did you ever consider quitting the
game or if he wore ways had total belief
that you were gonna kind of reach reach
the power you are now so the onus always
had always been very ambitious and very
sure about myself confident of course in
in life or in football you gonna have to
go through bad moments but I always had
the same goal to to perform and to play
at the higher level I think I've been
playing at the higher level since the
last two years now of course signing for
Manchester City it's a big step for me
and I'm very very happy and you know now
I just have to to perform and and help
the team you know I'm sure that I can
play at this level the title win with
Leicester in 2016 it's one of the great
stories of English football
you were key to that success of course
and you won the PFA Player of the Year
at the end of that season how confident
are you that you can add more trophies
now that you hear it sitting of course
there's a with all due respect are for
Leicester Mancha Star City is a very
very big club with big big players and I
think with the confidence they achieve
from last year I think this season it
will be a I hope it will be a very good
season so yeah I'm very confident about
and I think we can do big things
together well we had everyone was really
looking forward to watching you and we
wish you all the best of luck here at
City thank you very much
