Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has extended an apology to midfielder Kalvin Phillips for his limited playing time. Guardiola praised Phillips for his personality and character, acknowledging that the player is a perfect example of these qualities.
Guardiola explained that the decision not to play Phillips more frequently is not a reflection of the player’s abilities or attitude. Instead, it is due to the manager’s vision for the team and his difficulty in finding the right place for Phillips within that vision.
Kalvin Phillips, an English midfielder, is currently under contract with Manchester City and competes in the Premier League. Despite the high regard in which Guardiola holds him, Phillips has found opportunities on the pitch to be scarce.
