00:03He's coming up to 18 months left on his contract.
00:06I'm just wondering where that is.
00:08Obviously, he must be a player that you'll want to sign on here
00:12and keep here for many, many years.
00:14You're right. Completely right.
00:18No update on where that's at?
00:21No idea, but hopefully he's going to stay all his career here.
00:26He's a special player, Man City fan for the academy.
00:29So, no doubt about that.
00:33But I don't know him, he's itching the club. I don't know.
00:45Pep, just on GGO, I think three of those four yellows have been for protesting,
00:50complaining against decisions.
00:52Is that something he needs to adapt to the league or just stop doing?
00:56Or is that part of his game?
00:57Yeah, for sure.
00:59He will step-by-step understand things, the new league and new behaviours.
01:05Is it a case of speaking to him?
01:07No.
01:08No?
01:09He's adult enough.
01:10He's what, sorry?
01:11He's adult enough.
01:13Right.
01:14And just the way that the weekend went for the whole team, it felt like a good win in the end after the weekend and Arsenal dropping points.
01:25Yeah, absolutely.
01:26So, it was a game under control and we made two mistakes, especially the first one after the emotions was there.
01:33And we had to try to, you know, when the opening score goes, we were deserving of giving away for ourselves.
01:39Because we reopened the game when it was in control.
01:43But, yeah, always, as I said, there's a process instead of getting better and getting better.
01:51And, of course, get the results always help us and try to, you know, to continue that way and make, game by game, a good run of points.
02:03Hi, Pep.
02:04Phil was talking to us after the match on Saturday about how he thinks he's become more of a leader or how he sees himself as more of a leader in the squad.
02:18Have you seen that aspect of his game, his personality develop over the last...
02:22On the pitch, we have been like that.
02:24So, a vocal is not a guy who talks much in the dressing room, but on the pitch always never behind...
02:33Never hide behind the scenes and never hide, you know, what's going on.
02:37Always took responsibility for the day one.
02:39Always have been an incredible presence on the pitch.
02:42And obviously, because he's a homegrown player, Phil, and he probably won't stay for the rest of his career,
02:49would you see him sort of entering that captaincy group sometime later on in his...
02:53If he won't, yeah. If he won't become, yeah.
02:56But, captains that became, at the end, become for themselves, or due behaviour on and off the pitch.
03:03So, depends on him.
03:06Hi, Pep.
03:07When Aguero was here, he would often score 20-plus Premier League goals.
03:10You'd have someone like Raheem Sterling maybe getting 17 or 18.
03:13Can Phil Foden fill that role with regard to Erling, you know, sort of 17, 18 Premier League?
03:19I don't know.
03:20I've done it in the past.
03:21Erling, I feel in the year that won the last Premier League, four in a row,
03:27and was, yeah, the best player.
03:29I don't know how many goals he scored, but he scored a lot of goals and assists.
03:33But that's the truth.
03:34So, the years were when success, not just the strikers, you know,
03:37especially wingers attacking midfielders, especially one year from Gundo,
03:41the year of the travel, Gundo scored a lot of goals.
03:43So, we need that.
03:44And when that happens, is that a function of your team playing well and creating chances
03:48as a result of the players individually to sort of, you know, score these goals?
03:53Absolutely.
03:54The way we play, we had to try to create a lot of chances, but that is the truth.
03:59I don't know if Gianni have the last three or four games.
04:01I know many games always shoot inside of the box.
04:05The players save, the keepers save, and they arrive a moment that they put the ball in the net,
04:11and our game and our results will be better, that's for sure.
04:18Hi Pep, tomorrow's the first game, I think there's eight games,
04:22eight Premier League games coming up in the next sort of five weeks starting tomorrow.
04:28How sort of crucial is this sort of December-Christmas period?
04:32Well, when you are 20 points in front of the second, so it's not crucial,
04:35but we are in the position and we came, for example, the week before international break,
04:43that was crucial for us because, of course, Arsenal is not dropping points.
04:47So, yeah, the situation that we have, we can't win games.
04:50Otherwise, it will be difficult.
04:52You're going to need all your squad, aren't you?
04:54Because there's also two cup games in there as well.
04:57Yeah, obviously.
04:58You see the schedule in my office and I see December-January,
05:04especially January in February as well.
05:06So, if we continue in the Carabao Cups and the FA Cup is involved in this kind of stuff,
05:11so we have a lot of games.
05:13No doubt about that.
05:14And is it too early to ask about January whether you're likely to do any business?
