Pep Guardiola makes a shocking admission about Matheus Nunes.
Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, has conceded that new acquisition Matheus Nunes needs to improve his decision-making before he can play a key part at the Etihad Stadium.
Nunes joined City from Wolverhampton Wanderers on transfer deadline day for £53 million and was an unused substitute in City’s 5-1 win over Fulham before the international break.
Guardiola is eager to begin working with Nunes, but admits the 25-year-old still has a long way to go before he is ready to play a significant role in his team.
“He can play holding midfield, attacking midfield, and with time, he could play full-back with his physicality,” Guardiola said during a press conference.
I believe he has to work on his first contact and decisions with one touch. I believe it is not specific enough. Try it like Kevin [De Bruyne] with the ball. His enthusiasm, the quality is quite rare. He will become more exact in simple tasks.”
“At Wolves, he played the last games as a winger, so he can play in multiple positions,” he continued. That ability to dribble through people and travel 10, 15, 20 meters with the ball is quite rare.
“With time, he’ll learn to be more precise in the little things, like the first touch and first pass.” He’ll get it with the manner we’re training and the dynamic we have.”

The attacking midfielder, regarded as a star player owing to his continuous goal contributions, has been a consistent presence in the Brazilian Serie A, piling up an average of 3.4 shots on goal per match and a match rating of 7.42/10, according to WhoScored.
Veiga has recovered 2.8 balls per game in the league, according to SofaScore, and is capable of putting in a defensive shift with his offensive exploits.
