He also hinted that Fernandinho could play at centre back next season and told journalists that he likes to convert midfielders into defenders for one very good reason…
Guardiola said: “I think Fernandinho can play in ten positions.
“He has the quality to play wherever. He could play at centre back. He’s a quick, fast player, so intelligent, aggressive and strong in the air.
“He has the quality to create good build-up. We think he can play there – maybe Fernando too but he’s not as quick. I like midfielders to play at centre back because they can play good passes.
So our bald midfielders all sounding like they could play in defence this season, hence why we may not really be in for any Full Backs.
