Manchester City signed Lyon attacker Serky this summer, with a transfer fee of 36.5 million euros. Manchester City's former player Benabia is very optimistic about the prospects of French stars at Manchester City.
He said: "Because De Bruyne left the team, Manchester City needs not only a good player, but also a need to change the rhythm of the game. He needs to have the ability to control the ball, pass, dribble, shoot, take corner kicks and free kicks, and also entertain fans. And Serki can do this, and even more, his football is very interesting.
"I think what Guardiola will help him improve is not only to show his own wonderful performance, but also to create opportunities for his teammates. Sherky's skills are great, and he is only 22 years old. He may be better than me when he was the same age, and he is faster than me, but don't forget that I was already 33 years old when I joined Manchester City!
" Considering the physical training level of modern football, Sherky can exert her skills and talent faster than I was at Manchester City, and I think he will adapt quickly. As you grow older and experience, your decision-making ability will improve. But I think the time for Sherky to join Manchester City is perfect. If he joined earlier, the time might not be ripe; if he was later, the time might not be right.
"But now, he has joined a Manchester City team that is in a transitional period. Manchester City was an incredible and already hugely successful team two seasons ago, and it was very difficult to integrate into such a team at that time. But now is the perfect moment because last season was very tough. New players are exactly what the team needs, and Serky will play side by side with Rodri who was absent from injury last season, and the team will be completely renewed.
"If De Bruyne is still at Manchester City, the situation may be complicated because De Bruyne needs to play freely, and Serky is the same. A team cannot have two free agents at the same time, otherwise it will affect the overall balance. Serky is not afraid of breakthroughs and shots, and even dares to show himself more than De Bruyne.
"I believe he will bring wonderful performances to the fans - I know that Manchester City fans not only desire victory, but also want to win by style, and Serky will undoubtedly meet their expectations and he can guarantee participation. I like to show off all kinds of skills in front of fans to let them enjoy the game. Because fans spend money to see their team win, but also want to get entertainment, Serky can do this.
"He is a special, rare player. If Serki can understand Guardiola's demand for running without the ball, he will be one of the best players in the Premier League. This is the most important thing, and I believe we will see his progress. As for Serki's performance when he has the ball, I don't worry about it, because Haaland, Marmush, Foden, B Se, Rodri, they will definitely enjoy playing with him."
