Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to hail Stefan Ortega’s heroics after the goalkeeper saved Son Heung-min’s shot vs Tottenham. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, if Ortega did not make that save at that point in the game, Arsenal would have been named PL champions at the end of the season.
Pep added that Son has punished City several times in the last 8 years, so the save was incredible.
His words, “How is a team a team? Because of Ortega’s save. Otherwise, Arsenal are champions. That is the reality, the margins are so, so tight.
Do you know how many times Son punished us in the last seven, eight years? Can I tell you how many goals he scored against us with Harry Kane? Oh my God, and I said ‘not again,’ but Stefan makes an incredible save. It was amazing but he has this talent.
In the one-against-one, he is one of the best keepers I have ever seen in my life. Stand up, don’t go down and he is so, so, good. Playing FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and even this season Ederson had four times setbacks for injuries and always he was so reliable. He is an incredible keeper so the club and our trainer made an incredible decision to bring him here.”
WOW.
