Man City midfield trio backed to emulate Rodri and Silva
Director of football Hugo Viana believes the loss of the two City icons will eventually be offset by Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Following the departures of boss Pep Guardiola and several key players, Manchester City's director of football Hugo Viana is confident that Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi can emulate the remarkable impact made by Rodri and Bernardo Silva at the Etihad Stadium. The trio were brought in for a combined £327 million during the transfer window.
Viana, who masterminded the signings, is convinced that the loss of Rodri and Silva, who won 10 Premier League titles between them, will eventually be offset by the impact of the new midfield trio. He praised Fernandez's character and mentality, Anderson's experience and Bouaddi's long-term potential. All three players were praised for bringing the quality, character and mentality that the club was looking for in the midfield position.
