The season hadn't even started yet when the Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola disappointedly stated:
- We lost a great player, a guy who contributed to all our successes.
He meant on Hulijana Alvaresa who this summer had a clear intention to leave the "Etihad" and go to a club where he would be one of the most important players - such a role was given to him Diego Simeone At Atletico Madrid, Pauk showed that it was through working with Guardiola that he grew into a footballer who is ready to deal with pressure and solve games at the same time.
One of these was played on Saturday in Madrid when the Argentine was the man of the match in the duel with Athletic Bilbao.
- He is unique. I especially like his modesty - said Simeone.
He is modest and Michael Olise, the Bayern attacking midfielder who is having a phenomenal season after rejecting Chelsea this summer to move to Munich.
We present the players who marked the European football weekend:
THE GOALKEEPER
Leno (Fulham) - after leaving Arsenal he humbly accepted that it was time for a smaller club and at Fulham he found enough motivation to show weekend after weekend why he is one of the most respected goalkeepers on the Island. He directly influenced the elimination of Manchester United from the FA Cup.
DEFENSE
O'Reilly (Manchester City) - The "citizens" were missing the impossible against Plymouth, and the 19-year-old footballer brought about a turnaround from two set pieces and a place in the quarterfinals of the oldest competition in the world.
Gosens (Fiorentina) - "Viola" broke a three-game losing streak against Krstović's Leće - the victory was brought to them by a combative and reliable German.
THE MIDDLE
Salemakers (Roma) - plays better and better under leadership Claudio Ranieri - he came off the bench against Kom and orchestrated a turnaround for the "wolf" with a brilliant goal.
Olmo (Barcelona) - from the moment Sociedad was left with ten men at "Montjuic", there was only one team - Barça, under the command of double assistant Olmo, easily resolved the match until the end and preserved first place in the La Liga table.
Know (Naples) - Antonio Conte did everything he could to avoid defeat by Inter. The substitution he made in the 79th minute paid off in the 87th minute when the Dane brought a deserved equalizer to the "azure". The championship race on the Apennines is only now heating up...
ATTACK
Alvares (Atletico Madrid) - Diego Simeone he compared it to Luis Suaresom i David Vilja and I guess he gave the biggest compliment possible to Spider. What a player Atletico got for the figure of 75 million euros, which is not that big in today's football.
Olise (Bayern Munich) - when he has a player like him by his side Harry Kane It is not illogical then that Oliseh's performances are in the background. The French international, however, deserves attention due to his double-digit goals and assists this season in all competitions.
Zakanji (Lazio) - There aren't many players in Serie A right now who can do what the Lazio captain does.
Girassi (Borussia Dortmund) - as long as he is in the right form, Borussia can fix things and do something important this season.
Due (Paris Saint-Germain) - this summer he chose between PSG and Bayern and decided to stay in France. He did very well at Luis Enrique...
