Fonseca: Serki must work hard for Manchester City and his defensive participation needs to be improved
This summer window, Sherky joined Manchester City from Lyon for a transfer fee of 36.5 million euros. In this regard, Lyon coach Fonseca talked about the situation of the players.
Fonseca said: "He has to change and he has to work hard for the team. Serki has extraordinary talent. Now, his biggest challenge will be to be a disciplined player because he plays for a team that emphasizes strong ball control and always wants the ball to be at his feet. He must learn this."
Fonseca also reiterated that the defense has become crucial and took Paris as an example: "We have the example of Paris, they once had Messi and M at the same time. Bappe, Neymar, all players must understand that defensive work is indispensable. Teams that have such players but do not defend are not the strongest teams, and they cannot win. "
Fonseca believes that Serki is always more difficult than some of his teammates in meeting the requirements of collective participation: "For example, when Lacazette, when he worked with me, he would participate in the defense. From the first day, he implemented my requirements. This was a little more difficult for Serki, but he was working hard at the time. When he worked with me, he worked hard."
