Revelation at the start of the season, Savinho is experiencing a worrying setback at Manchester City. At only 20 years old, the Brazilian had dazzled Pep Guardiola with his versatility and his offensive flair, but the euphoria of the beginnings already seems far away.
Aligned alongside Doku and Haaland from his first matches, Savinho quickly established himself as a valuable asset for the “Sky Blues”. His performance during the Community Shield, where he was brilliant in the penalty shootout, heralded a promising season. However, despite a thunderous start to the Premier League thanks to his incisive dribbling and explosive play, he has still not found the net. Worse, his last assists date from October, a sign of his decline in the hierarchy.
Now relegated to the bench, Savinho must regain the confidence and audacity that marked his beginnings. Pep Guardiola, aware of his potential, expects a lot from his return to his best level to strengthen a team in search of consistency. If the Brazilian manages to reach this milestone, he could once again become a key element in Manchester City's quest for glory.
