"He is the best player in Premier League". Guardiola praised the star of Manchester City

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola commented on the victory over Manchester United (3:1) in the 27th round of the Premier League.

"Not winning would not be good but we matched the result with the performance and it is really good. We started really well but after seven minutes and the first long ball we were not in the correct line. We we were a little more anxious in the first half in the final third but yeah it was a really good game.

Foden? It is the amount of games he is playing. He was always a talented player but now he is more mature and understands more the game, especially defensively. He can play middle, right, make moments and cut inside, play in the left, scoring from the left. What can I say? He is the best player in the Premier League right now for the amount of things he does. Unbelievable. When he scores two goals it gives me more pleasure than the other stuff. We don't negotiate over that, the guy who doesn't do that doesn't stay in the team. He loves football, he lives for football. He is a joy and his work ethic is unbelievable.

Title challenge? It is about us. We can't control what Liverpool or Arsenal, Aston Villa or other contenders do, it is about us. We do what we have to do to win today, next Wednesday and Sunday. This team is legendary. Will we do it? I don't know. We have today more points at this stage than last season. The difference is Liverpool have I don't know how many more points than this stage last season. When the opponent is behaving like this, what can I say, congratulations so far. We will continue to try game by game."

With 62 points, Manchester City occupies the second position in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool by one point. On March 10th, the Citizens will face Jürgen Klopp's team in the championship.
