Manchester: Pep Guardiola’s recent move to switch Savinho to the left has really turned things around for Manchester City. Former player Micah Richards thinks this change has given Erling Haaland the support he’s been missing.
Savinho, who joined City for about £30 million from Troyes, usually played on the right. But after Guardiola put him on the left in a recent match against Leicester, he scored and assisted, helping the team break a tough streak.
In the game against West Ham, Savinho was on fire, setting up Haaland for two goals. His crosses were spot on, making it easy for Haaland to score. This kind of service was just what they needed during their rough patch.
Richards praised Savinho’s performance, saying he brought back some much-needed confidence to the team. He noted how well Savinho held his position and how tough it was for West Ham’s defenders to keep up with him.
“He looked full of confidence,” Richards said. “This is exactly what Haaland has been yearning for—a great early cross that finds him perfectly.”
