Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hailed the performances of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guéhi following their win over the weekend.
City recorded a 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with Omar Marmoush and Semenyo scoring for the home side.
Guehi, who joined the side from Crystal Palace, made his debut for Guardiola's side.
Speaking after the game, the Spanish gaffer showed how important they will be, looking forward to the rest of the campaign with City vying for success on four fronts.
“Absolutely. They are set up players,” Pep pointed out.
“Last season, it was young players [who we brought in] except Omar.
“Semenyo made an incredible impact at Bournemouth.
“Antoine came with incredible energy, and strikers are about numbers.
“Since he arrived, he has been unbelievable. [It was an] Incredible goal
“It looks easy, but the control is perfect to pass the ball to the net. He made another chance with a pass from Marc, and he hit the crossbar.
“Marc, I don’t need to tell you who he is.
“He knows everything. I remember it is similar to when Ruben arrived, and he had incredible focus for every action.
“With the ball, he has incredible composure. We didn’t train anything yet, but I have the feeling in the middle, we did a little better.
“He’s not come for six months; he’s come for many years. It was an opportunity for the price.
“He’s the perfect age, and he’s the perfect signing for many, many years.
“He’s a guy you can rely on. I see it in two sessions. How he sees, how he moves, how he talks, how he reads the situations.”
The pair will hope to maintain their impressive start at the club when they next face Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday.
