In the base touch more balloon and have more participation and up are more for the last pass and define. They like me the two and attempt do it the best possible".
Gündogan, the joker
By his part, Ilkay was the 'utility' of the team of Xavi Hernández.

However, in the Manchester City exerted in a more advanced zone of the field, being key from this position in the achievement of the triplete of the 'skyblues'.
The season is long and Flick will handle both alternatives of agreement to the rival that was in front, with Fermín López as 'covered' to offer a distinct profile to the position. The true is that, in spite of the existent doubts regarding the role of each one, Pedri and Gündogan will be transcendental in the diagram of the German.
