Guardiola for the Dortmund star: He’s too good for a 17 year old

Pep Guardiola reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time as manager of Manchester City, but still he found time to elevate the new star of Borussia Dortmund, Jude Bellingham.

City were on the verge of elimination from European competition at the expense of away goals when the 17-year-old put Dortmund ahead in the 15th minute, before Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden secured the Premier League leader a 2-1 victory and move on to the next stage with a score of 4: 2 after two matches.

But the former Birmingham City midfielder became the youngest English player to score in the Champions League and the second youngest player in the history of this competition, after former Barcelona star Bojan Krkic.

Speaking after the match, Guardiola had only good words for the English talent.

The Spanish coach cannot believe that Bellingham is only 17 years old, after his appearances in two games against City.

“I can not believe it, maybe he is a liar. He is incredibly good for a 17-year-old. He is a fantastic player,” said for Bellingham.

“It was a moment when he did not accept the ball from the center-backs, the way he shouts and asks for the ball means a lot for a 17-year-old,” he added.

Douglas Costa will complete the transfer to Gremio within 48 hours

Douglas Costa is expected to complete his move to Gremio within 48 hours, said the vice-president of the Brazilian club.

The 30-year-old joined Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus this October, but the Bavarians had informed the Serie A giants that they would not buy the player.

The Brazilian is now expected to return to his former club Gremio on a free transfer.

“Negotiations are underway. Juventus have officially authorized us to make a deal with the player,” Gremio vice-president Marcos Herrmann told Globo Esporte.

“We are waiting for the documentation, which should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, and there is enough time to register the player before the deadline. We are optimistic.”

Douglas Costa’s contract with Juventus expires in 2022, but the Bianconeri will end the deal with the Brazilian winger a year ago.
