In an interview after the Community Shield final between Manchester City and Manchester United, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his high recognition and expectations for two young stars, Oscar Bob and McCarty. He emphasized that the two young players have shown the strength and standard comparable to the first team, especially Oscar Bob, whose unique ability to break with the ball, accurate passing and excellent professionalism impressed the fans in the game. Pep Guardiola particularly pointed out that Oscar Bob's ability to remain calm and continue to push forward on the field even after being tackled by opponents is particularly rare in modern soccer.
Guardiola also spoke highly of McCarty. Despite some ups and downs in the first few games of the season, McCarty quickly adjusted his form and improved with each game, gradually showing his talent for precise ball control and efficient offense in tight spaces. Pep Guardiola said bluntly that McCarty's ability is exactly what the team needs, and made it clear that he doesn't want to send this potential star out on loan, as he firmly believes that McCarty will become an indispensable member of the team in the future.
