8) Fernandinho is Manchester City’s Sergio Busquets
Pep Guardiola has managed two world class teams in Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and Manchester City are definitely his biggest test yet. With five games down, it looks like Guardiola has made Manchester City into one of his own in a matter of just over two months. A player who has played the biggest role in this transition is Fernandinho.
The midfielder has slotted into the midfield in the Sergio Busquets position being the link between the defence and attack. The fact that Fernandinho is able to perform what Sergio Busquets and Xabi Alonso did at Barcelona and Bayern respectively is a matter of pride for the midfielder. He could grow from strength to strength under Pep into one of the Premier League’s best defensive midfielders.
