https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51086853 Completely different player in training to matches... Sometimes when a new player arrives at your club, you see him in action with your own eyes and just think 'wow'. That was happening a lot at City at the time, because of the kind of big signings we were making that were transforming the club, but it was not the case with Sergio. When I first saw him, I didn't actually think he was that good. We had spent a lot of money on him - around £35m - and he had arrived with a big reputation, but in those first few sessions he did not look particularly special. It is not as if I was expecting him to be dribbling past four or five players or anything, but I was marking him a lot of the time and he did not really do anything at all. He looked lethargic and was actually quite lazy if I am being totally honest. I was wondering what all the hype was about. I did not realise just how good he really was until he played his first game for us. He came alive in matches, and everything about him was different. | |
