The 20-year-old winger, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-signing-brazilian-savio-contract-girona-transfer/blta5f215da4e217386#cs7bdb1340dc934a52" target="_blank">who joined the Cityzens</a> from their sister club Troyes, made his debut on Saturday in the Community Shield as he was introduced into the game in the 63rd minute in place of Jeremy Doku. Savinho showed glimpses of his abilities in his short cameo and played an important role in the club's late equaliser as he combined with Oscar Bobb before the Norwegian fed Bernardo Silva with a brilliant cross.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After the reigning Premier League champions <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-need-goalscorer-marcus-rashford-disasterclass-winners-losers-community-shield/blteb285b112dbaaa6d" target="_blank">picked up a win in their first competitive game</a> of the new season, manager Guardiola lauded debutant Savinho's efforts on the pitch as he predicted that the youngster would help star striker Erling Haaland score more goals as the season progresses.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Guardiola said, "[He had a] good impact. He can play on both sides. On the left, he has incredible quality and can attack the byline. After that he is really good at the crosses. He will help Erling to score goals. Look at the goal we scored, byline and cross. When you have ability to arrive in those positions and make a good cross, but not just inside, he was aggressive."With our wingers, I ask them when you have a good feeling, attack the opponent, it doesn’t matter if you dribble or not, you have to do it, it’s your quality. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t effective but you have to do it. He did it really well for the 35 minutes he played."

WHAT PEP GUARDIOLA SAID

City will be next seen in action on August 18 as they take on Chelsea in their Premier League season opener at Etihad Stadium.
