"I said a few weeks ago that Phil has had the biggest impact on the result this season in terms of goals and assists. This season he is very important for us. He reads the game very well and is more aggressive than he used to be. He moves intelligently on the pitch, which helps the team gain an advantage. He is an exceptional player.

At his age, he played 250 games for City, which shows his influence. In the future, he will replace Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. With each new season, he gains experience, which he will then pass on to others," Guardiola was quoted as saying by the Citizens' official website.
