Pep Guardiola is optimistic that Jeremy Doku’s extraordinary performance over the weekend will inspire others to emulate his ire at missing out.

Doku was the star of Manchester City’s 6-1 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday, which propelled the hosts back to the summit of the Premier League. He opened the scoring and assisted on four others.

This followed Guardiola’s preference for England midfielder Jack Grealish in last week’s derby victory over Manchester United; he now expects Grealish to return to form.

Guardiola stated, “I desire Jack to be enraged and to perform admirably; Doku, on the other hand, should be enraged at missing the last two games.” This is how the consistency at that level can be maintained.”

Grealish’s month-long absence due to a dead limb has impeded his progress this season, but Guardiola is certain he will recover to his former form.

“Jack has returned,” he declared. “It was decisive for us how he performed at Old Trafford, as it gave us more composure and strength in that position.

“Everyone is needed.” There are numerous games in which all participants are required to compete.

“I can play both simultaneously if Jeremy and Jack perform, but when they don’t, train harder the following day because the moment is approaching, and you will perform well if you are mentally prepared.”

“At that point, we will triumph in competitions, you will be satisfied, and all will be content. The task at hand is as follows.”

Erling Haaland, City’s standout forward, will have his fitness evaluated prior to the Champions League match against Young Boys on Tuesday. The Norwegian was substituted during halftime on Saturday subsequent to sustaining an ankle mishap.

Guardiola expressed satisfaction that his side scored six goals without the prolific Haaland contributing, but he acknowledges the need for his immediate return.

He stated, “Jeremy’s threat to score goals, along with those of Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden, is a plus.” It is known to us.

“Although Mateo (Kovacic) does not score goals, we now have a greater number of participating players, Erling or no Erling; however, I prefer to have Erling on the field.”

Holders City can advance for the eleventh consecutive year to the knockout phases of the Champions League with a victory over the Swiss club this week.

Guardiola stated, “It is more crucial than you can possibly imagine, as it allows us to put the car on hold until February and concentrate on the Premier League and other competitions.” It must be shut down on Tuesday.”
