While waiting for the ceremony, the 23-year-old striker continues to score goals (already 6 this season in as many matches in all competitions), he returned with France Football on his relationship with Pep Guardiola. He explains in particular that his trainer’s demands push him to his extreme limit in their relationship.
“With Pep the relationship is very good. Of course, he is very demanding in his work, he is very direct and honest in his speech. But that’s his way of managing. In any case, to develop and progress, it is better to have the whole truth in a very direct way. We can say it, sometimes, it’s brutal. (Laughing) During the first day at Burnley (3-0), you were able to see it (during the break, Guardiola reminded him of certain instructions in front of the cameras).
But I appreciate it because it shows that he is totally involved and passionate. It’s not always pleasant but, at the same time, it confronts you with the truth and I know its goal is to make you a better player. But, be careful, that’s in the work. Because outside we joke a lot, really. There are a lot of smiles, the proof is the way the group has lived for several years. And indeed, it works.
