Manager of Manchester City Pep Guardiola says one of the difficulties in playing against FC Porto is the speed at which their fullbacks turn defence into attack.

The coach made this admission after his team’s 0-0 draw against the Portuguese side in the UEFA Champions League which helped them to secure top spot in the group.

“We played with huge personality; with courage. It is not easy with eight players in the box. They are so strong with the full-backs, they are so fast. Even with that, we created enough chances to win. This is the most important thing”, he said after the game.

One of the fullbacks talked about by the Spanish coach is Zaidu Sanusi who operates from the left full back position for the entire duration of both games against the English side.

The Nigeria international played a huge role in the game ending 0-0 with his goal line clearance in the 37th minute keeping scores at 0-0 before the halftime break.
