Back in Barcelona, Pep Guardiola had the perfect defensive midfielder in Sergio Busquets, a piece of the puzzle that can't ever skip a match in order to work perfectly in Guardiola's tactical approach and style. This Saturday against West Brom, Fernandinho's work made it possible for Ilkay Gundogan to play closer to the box and granted them ball possession, he also helped the full-backs play forward. It worked perfectly and Guardiola recognized his importance after the match.
Pep said that: "We had two full-backs out. I thought to play with Pablo Maffeo but considering I think this team [West Brom] is a little bit tall, tall guys… we had a guy with a good mentality like Fernando. He is good with the ball, he is strong in the air. We spoke yesterday in training about his position and he did really, really good."
He continued: "In the second half [West Brom] showed me again how tough the Premier League is. For me, it is hard to understand why in the first half we had control and then in the second half immediately with the same players – they changed their tactics – the game was on. If they scored in the 60th minute or 65th minute everything can happen. The moment when Gundogan scored the goal the game was over."
Goal-scorer Gundogan, spoke to the club's website about his performance: "It was very important to win and we played great, especially in the first half. We deserved it very much and we’re very happy that we were able to win again. At the moment it's a nice feeling to be top of the table but the season is very long so that's not the main thing right now. It was important to improve our game again and not to do the mistakes we did in the last few weeks. I'm very happy to score. In the last few weeks and months I haven't scored too much so it’s always special for me to score."
