Pep Guardiola Akui Bersikap Tidak Adil kepada Jeremy Doku di Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has admitted to being unfair to Jeremy Doku at Manchester City, as the Belgian winger has seen limited playing time in recent Premier League matches.

In the last two games, Doku only played three minutes against Crystal Palace and 12 minutes against Everton, despite consistently performing well whenever called upon.

“I’ve been unfair to Jeremy Doku in recent games. I remember the away matches against Tottenham and Brighton — without him, those results wouldn’t have been possible,” said Guardiola.

The Spanish manager explained that tactical decisions were the main reason — with the team relying more on full-backs and midfielders in their attacking build-up.

Jeremy Doku, who joined from Rennes two years ago for a €60 million fee, has made 24 Premier League appearances this season — with 14 starts and 10 as a substitute.
