Pep Guardiola said Nico Gonzalez’s performance against Newcastle showed the Manchester City signing can be a ‘mini-Rodri’ for his new side.
City got back to winning ways in the Premier League in emphatic fashion with a 4-0 home win courtesy of a 15-minute hat-trick from Omar Marmoush.
And Guardiola believes that the 23-year-old could have finally provided him with a proper replacement for Rodri whose absence due to an ACL injury has hampered City’s ambitions this season.
Asked about Marmoush’s performance, Guardiola admitted that the Egyptian’s breakout display was only a natter of time after his impressive start to life in Manchester.
‘Three goals, we knew it – in Germany at Frankfurt he made good numbers,’ the City boss added.
