With the start of the English Premier League for the second round approaching, the prestigious gate goal He decided to pick the one he considers to have been, so far, the top 11 of the season. Among the options, it is worth highlighting the presence of three Portuguese, all of whom are from Manchester City.

We talk about defenders Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo and attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva, all of whom have played a key role in the fantastic season for Pep Guardiola’s side. Here is the rationale for the choices:

Robin Dias: “Last season’s best player in the Premier League started the new season at the same pace and put in a great performance, decisively contributing to only Manchester City’s nine goals. He started in 16 out of 18 league games and escaped Guardiola’s turn in central defence. The stats aren’t impressive but This is just a reflection of how much the team has taken possession of.”

Joao Cancelo: “He has been irresistible this season. In the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, the full-back has become a creative midfielder in the middle of the field, free to roam the field to distribute passes. No player in the Premier League has more passes (1407) and has already made five passes. for the goal.”

Bernardo Silva: “Seven goals in half a season is already the best mark since he was at Manchester City. He is the best player in the Premier League not called Mohamed Salah. He is in good shape and he is the one who connects the team, as he plays the new role of Iniesta for Guardiola.”

Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), Alexander Arnold (Liverpool), Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea), Declan Rice (West Ham), Conor Gallagher (Crystal Palace), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Ravenha (Leeds) and Emmanuel Dennis (Watford) Make up the rest of the team.
