00:00 He has this tag, rightly so, of the academy graduate at Manchester City,
00:05 but is it time we move past that or is that something to be proud of?
00:09 About? Sorry?
00:12 He carries that the academy graduate tag is really one of the first players to break into your side here,
00:18 he's the model boy for anyone in the academy.
00:21 Of course for the academy players, see the players that were in the academy
00:27 and make a huge impact with the team is a target.
00:31 But look how many players came from the academy,
00:34 how many is playing here but how many is all around the world,
00:38 in other leagues, here in England how many players,
00:42 look Morgan now in Aston Villa, who was here, and many, many players.
00:46 So the job this academy has done in the last five, six, seven years is unbelievable.
00:52 Because we are so proud to look at them, not all the players in the academy can play in the first team,
00:56 it's a question of space, they cannot.
00:59 But they help them to be better players, human beings, and it will happen.
01:04 All of them are professionals, their long careers will be,
01:07 so it's so nice, it's really, really good.
