Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola has given reasons why he signed Algerian playmaker, Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City.
The Algerian midfielder completed his long-awaited move to City from Leicester earlier this month and is enjoying his first days with the Club in Chicago on the Blues’ pre-season tour of the States.
Addressing the media ahead of Friday’s International Champions Cup clash against Borussia Dortmund, Guardiola praised his new recruit, asserting that his new addition will help the Premier League Champions to build on last season’s remarkable success.
“Riyad Mahrez has come to help us at the front and give us the quality he has,” the Catalan boss told press
.
“We have the same players (from last year), except one person – Mr
Toure. We are going to try to continue to improve on what we started two seasons ago. What happened last season was a consequence of the first season and we will try to do that again.
“We will try to go back to basics and see our intention for the new season – to try to beat everybody like last season. I know what I have to do.”
