Pep Guardiola lauds Man City defender for his revival

Guardiola delighted with John Stones’ recent upturn in form.

Man City have not conceded in John Stones’ last eight appearances this campaign.

The English centre-back produced another scintillating display against Southampton.

Manager Pep Guardiola is pleased with how Stones has managed to turn his situation around.

Guardiola said: “Excellent. He’s back. He has turned his situation perfectly.

“He played really, really well with Ruben (Dias) as well, all of the back four were so brilliant defensively because it’s not easy.”

“He has been here more than five seasons and knows exactly what you have to do, what he has to do,” Guardiola added.

“Unfortunately, he could not do it in the previous years but now he has done it. It was himself, he settled perfectly in what he would like, no injuries, and showed his personality with and without the ball.

“We are delighted, and especially because he’s an incredibly nice person. His mum and dad must be so proud of how nice a person he is and his daughter has a top father.”
