He’s Like My Son – Pep Guardiola Praises 'Adorable' Man City Star

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his deep affection for England international John Stones, describing him as being "like my son."

Stones was one of the first players Guardiola signed when he took over at Manchester City in 2016, having joined from Everton. Over the years, Stones has become an integral part of the team, consistently delivering strong performances.

Guardiola elaborated on his close relationship with Stones, stating, "John looks like he was my son. I know his body language and everything about him. He’s one of the most adorable professionals."

Despite Stones' important contributions to the team, Guardiola explained that the only reason Stones wasn't playing recently was due to the exceptional form of teammates Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji.

Stones' journey under Guardiola's management has been marked by growth and success, making him a crucial figure in Manchester City's recent achievements.
