Man City boss Guardiola explains Gvardiol form explosion

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes he has a great talent in Josko Gvardiol.

The Croatian is one who has emerged as a key member of the Citizens' back line.

Gvardiol, who can play at centre half and left-back, was man of the match in a 4-0 win over Fulham at the weekend.

There is an aspect in football and in life and that is confidence, confidence when you do things and it's game time, a lot of games and talking about the not proper things that you do and the good things," Guardiola told reporters post-game.

And you cannot forget it is his first Premier League season and he is just 21 so it is not easy to handle it and he struggled in the beginning a little bit, because he came into a team who had just won the Treble and he was a little bit shy, maybe thinking 'I don't want to ruin the structure that they have and what they have done' - it is a question of time.

He didn't come for a few months. He signed for many, many years and he has proved to himself that he can do it and play with us.

After Wolves, we gave three days off to everyone and on the first day, he went into the training center to make a recovery, so his focus is football and he wants to be better and better and when this happens, you have something special on your hands."
