Manchester City’s first team is currently on a pre-season tour in the United States, and 21-year-old Oscar Bob has become the team’s biggest highlight. After contributing one goal and three assists in two matches, Bob gave an interview to the media. The Norwegian star believes that Guardiola’s Barcelona has given him great inspiration and believes that his compatriot teammate Haaland is the best player in the world.
Bob has gradually grown into an important member of Manchester City last season. He appeared 26 times throughout the season. This season, Bob has the opportunity to get more playing time and make more contributions to Manchester City. Bob revealed that he had admired Guardiola’s tactical style since he was a child, and he was a loyal fan of the treble-winning Barcelona led by Guardiola.
Bob said: “My family has television programs that can watch La Liga live, so I watched all the matches of Barcelona coached by the coach (Guardiola), and I would watch the live broadcast with my mother. I like their best dribblers and attackers, Messi, Iniesta, and so on…”
As a youth academy signing in 2019, Bob has performed well since his promotion to the first team. His partnership with compatriot Haaland is steadily improving, which is very encouraging for Manchester City. The industry believes that Bob will be the next Foden.
Bob believes that he still needs to continue working hard to continue to improve. He said: “The coach knows where I can learn more and when to speed up and when to slow down. I know it’s difficult, but it’s necessary. I want to play more games, but first I need to qualify to play.”
Bob also firmly believes that Haaland is the best player in the world today. He said: “Partnering with Erling? I just try to play with him. He is the best player in the world, so I will try to pass him the ball. I don’t know if this is a natural choice, maybe it’s just his personal charm. We train hard together and he has taught me a lot of game skills. I know that as long as I pass a good ball, he can turn it into a goal. It’s always easy to play with him. He’s one of the best players in the world. It’s an honor to play with him.”
