Man City manager Pep Guardiola praises a young player with great potential, comparing him to the talented Cole Palmer.

Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, has high hopes for one of his young players. He sees great potential in this player and believes that he can reach the same level as Chelsea's talented Cole Palmer. The team had a fantastic start to the season by winning the Community Shield in a penalty shootout against their rivals, Manchester United.

The game was a tense one, with United taking the lead in the 82nd minute thanks to Alejandro Garnacho. However, City's Bernardo Silva managed to score a late equaliser, sending the game to penalties. Unfortunately, the Portuguese player missed his penalty, giving United the advantage. But with both Jadon Sancho and Jonny Evans also missing their penalties, City emerged as the winners and lifted the trophy.

One standout player in the game was City's Oscar Bobb. He caused havoc for United's defence and even provided the assist for Silva's goal. With another young player, Julian Alvarez, leaving for Atletico Madrid, Bobb may have more opportunities to showcase his skills this season. Guardiola was full of praise for the 21-year-old after his impressive performance at Wembley.

"Oscar played a fantastic game, just like he has throughout pre-season," Guardiola said at the post-match press conference. "He has something unique in his ability to change direction, whether it's with his first few steps or his agility. And of course, his goal and assist were of incredible quality. He also has a great work ethic and I believe he can continue to shine for us."

While City's academy has produced many talented players, not all of them have stayed at the club. Players like Brahim Diaz, Jadon Sancho, and Cole Palmer have all made a name for themselves elsewhere. However, Bobb seems content to stay and continue his development at City. Guardiola is confident that he can one day reach the same level as Palmer, who had an outstanding debut season at Chelsea.

"It would be fantastic if Bobb could replicate Palmer's success at Chelsea last season," Guardiola stated when asked about Bobb's potential. "Palmer was one of the best players in the Premier League and also had a big impact at the Euros. And that was because he played in every game. I have no doubt that if Bobb gets more playing time, he can also achieve great things for us."
