Bruno Guimaraes has revealed that Pep Guardiola told him he was a 'good player' after the Man City boss gate-crashed the Newcastle United star's interview.
Guardiola is a long-term admirer of the Brazil international and the City manager did not disguise that fact in his post-match press conference after his side defeated Newcastle 2-0 at the Etihad on Saturday. Guardiola, unprompted, said that Bruno was an 'exceptional holding midfielder' and a 'top-class player'.
The praise did not stop there. When Bruno was speaking to ESPN Brazil after the game, Guardiola dropped by to shake his hand and personally tell the Newcastle midfielder he was 'bueno', which translates into English as a 'good'.
