“Jeremy Doku might never become one of those players who consistently tops the scoring charts — and that’s perfectly fine,” Guardiola admitted with his trademark honesty. “But what truly sets him apart is his hunger to improve. He’s coachable, receptive, and constantly looking to refine his game. You can see how much he listens and learns.”
The City boss went on to praise Doku’s maturity and tactical discipline, especially in a challenging duel against Liverpool’s Conor Bradley. “He managed Bradley exceptionally well — he was sharp, aggressive, and intelligent without the ball. His positioning and reaction speed were spot-on,” Pep explained.
Guardiola’s admiration was clear as he reflected on the winger’s overall display: “He played an outstanding game. Every time he got the ball, there was a sense of danger, that electricity that lifts the team and the fans alike. He’s got those unique dribbling skills, that fearless drive to take on defenders, and today he showed he’s evolving into a complete player.”
