Sane joined Manchester City before the start of this season and has already become one of the leaders of the City. On the account of Leroy 9 goals already now. The German spoke about the methods of work of the City of Josep Guardiola coach.

"Pep can help me with a lot of things, because he knows how Messi plays - he saw Lionel train every day. Guardiola tries to charge me with confidence, says to play as Messi and Neimar, "- admitted Sane.

Leroy took some time to adapt to the new team - his first goal he scored in December at the gates of Arsenal.

"I'm young and at first when I played against big clubs, I thought:

" Well, yes, they are better than me ". Perhaps I was a little afraid, because I was in a new team, in a new country and did not know anything about the championship. But then Guardiola told me: "Play as you did in Schalke, then you were free". Other players are ordinary people, so show your game, do not be afraid ".

Today (April 23) Manchester City will play in the semi-final of the FA Cup with Arsenal. In the final of the tournament the winner of the pair will meet with Chelsea.
