MANCHESTER (VG) (Man. City – Bournemouth 6–1) He is often concise and does not speak big words. But for Oscar Bobb (20), joining the league on Saturday is special in two ways.

First, he got his first playing minutes for Manchester City in more than a month.

Not only that.

The 20-year-old started on Saturday night by collecting goal points for the triple champions, then left footed Winger best known for his assists right foot about the home team’s 6-1 scoreline against Bournemouth.

– Fantastic. It’s definitely fun to think about, especially in a period where I haven’t been involved much. So that’s really cool and For a win, Bobb told VG with a smile in the press zone at the Etihad Stadium.

When VG asked what it was like to be on the bench or out of the squad for weeks, Bobb opened up a bit about his feelings:

– I think if you look at it from a broader perspective, if I calm down and get home, chat with the people closest to me, then you clearly understand that you have to be patient in a place like that.

– But at that moment (when you are waiting) it is very difficult. Maybe not everyone on the outside understands it completely, but not all footballers find not playing enjoyable. But the only thing I want is to be here, Bobb said with a smile.

Although he has been waiting a long time over the past month, Pep Guardiola also kept him waiting during Saturday’s game.

First, the City manager replaced Phil Foden after Erling Braut Haaland was injured.

Then he brought on Bobb among others as a warm-up, but when Guardiola made a triple change with Rico Lewis, Kalvin Philips and Matheus Nunes, it didn’t look brilliant in terms of playing time.

– Not the coolest feeling, Bobb said with a slight smile about the wait.

– But when I sit around the players I sit with, I can’t expect to go straight ahead. It’s truly world class around me. But waiting is not a good feeling and one you don’t want to have.

For the 20-year-old, his first assist was another milestone in his career, and he called the feeling of seeing Nathan Aké send his cross into the goal a “painful pleasure” and “the reason why he wanted to play as a player.” attacker”.

Aké in particular had nothing but praise for Bobb after the match and said he also thanked his 20-year-old Norwegian teammate for his post.

– He’s a good player. Every time he’s played this season he’s been very good. He is not at all humble and challenges players, the City defender told Viaplay.

He was then asked how young players could get into the team.

– I think it’s good. We have groups that are easy to get into, but it’s also about them. How humble he is and he will continue to learn every day. We like him and you can see that he wants to take advantage of opportunities every time he comes on. I am very impressed.

In front of VG, Guardiola praised Bobb at Friday’s press conference before the Bournemouth match.

On Saturday, he continued with the opposite Viaplay.

– I am very satisfied. He is always ready, he trains very well and I am sure he will gain confidence every time he plays like he did today.

– His teammates can trust him, so that’s good, said Guardiola.
