The three Manchester City teammates Mateo Kovacic would want to bring to a desert island have already been revealed.
The international player from Croatia was speaking on the official YouTube channel of the club.
Which teammates from Manchester City did Mateo Kovacic select? Let’s examine this.
What is the tale?
The Manchester City No. 8 has only been at the Etihad Stadium since completing a £25 million transfer from Chelsea in June.
But Kovacic has adapted fast enough to name three teammates with whom he would be content to be stranded on a desert island.
The 29-year-old stated on YouTube: “I would prefer to travel somewhere with my family! However, given our extended acquaintanceship, Josko (Gvardiol) would be my first choice if I had to select teammates.
“Maybe Nathan Ake, and Rodri, the third.”
Before Kovacic declared he would take Ake to a desert island, Kevin De Bruyne also referred to the £40 million Dutchman as his closest teammate, suggesting Ake is undoubtedly well-liked at the Etihad Stadium.
Gvardiol has benefited from Kovacic at Manchester City.
In his 11 Manchester City outings thus far, Kovacic has demonstrated his class, but he also contributes significantly off the field with Gvardiol.
The £77.6 million defender said in their YouTube conversation that his compatriot has supported him during his adjustment to life at the Etihad Stadium and is constantly at his side.
Gvardiol is only 21 years old, and it must have been difficult for someone so young to join a team that has won three titles, have one of the most demanding managers in the league at the helm, and pay such a high transfer fee.
As a result, Kovacic would always play a crucial role in assisting his fellow Croatian in settling in, and Gvardiol’s consistently rising performances indicate that his bedding in time is proceeding smoothly.
