After watching the game Pep Guardiola said in an interview about Akanyi’s performance: “We are very pleased, he only trained with us for a day and a half.”
“He showed at Dortmund that he has experience with European football, added a very good central defender for us. Quite similar to Laporte, he can break defenses by passing the ball, and reads the game very well, I’m satisfied with him.
“Akanyi has experience playing. Champions League for years, and we’ve had a lot of players that couldn’t play. Including some people we have to put aside for the next game, so this game we decided to play him.”
PEP ???? [On Akanji] He trained one day and a half with us but he showed what experience he has at Dortmund and what a good central defender Manchester City brought to us. He has quality similar like Aymeric – he can break the lines with the pass. He reads really well the spaces. pic.twitter.com/IcRCWWxGjS
