Bilal El Khannouss: “Guardiola said he was impressed, but not me”

Following Leicester City’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the 19th round of the Premier League, Moroccan international Bilal El Khannouss shared his thoughts on his performance at the King Power Stadium. Despite receiving praise from Pep Guardiola, the Citizens’ manager, the young Foxes midfielder remained humble.

“Guardiola said he was impressed with my performance today, but not me. Because I know myself, and that’s the player I am. I have to show that every week,” El Khannouss stated, as reported by PlaySports. His comments reflect the demanding mindset of the Paris Olympics bronze medalist, who is determined to make his mark in the English top flight.
