"He’s got balls!": Oasis legend Noel Gallagher goes wild over Enzo Fernández’s Manchester City arrival
'The British singer, a die-hard Man City fan, is delighted with Enzo's signing for his club
E nz o Fernandez 's arrival at Manchester City has sparked enormous excitement among the Sky Blues fans, and Noel Gallagher was quick to show his enthusiasm. The iconic Oasis singer, a well-known City supporter, stated that the Argentine has the qualities the team had been looking for to strengthen its midfield . "Enzo is exactly the player we need," he said bluntly on Talksport.
Gallagher especially highlighted the competitive nature of the midfielder , a profile he considers essential to raise the team's level of demand. " We've been missing that, " the musician explained, before going on to make a comparison as striking as it was meaningful.
" " We wanted a player similar to Roy Keane , not to put him on his level, but one who stands up to opponents," he said, making it clear that he values the Argentine's personality above any other quality.
For the British singer, Enzo’s arrival brings a component of intensity that he does not find in other players in the squad. "I want that at City, because Phil (Foden) is not going to do it, Elliott Anderson is not going to do it," Gallagher reflected, convinced that the new signing can become the player tasked with imposing respect in the midfield battle.
Beyond his performance on the pitch, Gallagher was also captivated by the attitude of the Argentine international since his arrival at the club. "I'm happy that he's here," he confessed, before revealing a detail that especially caught his attention and that he interprets as a statement of intent from the player.
The artist highlighted the choice of the squad number that Kevin De Bruyne had left vacant , a gesture that, in his view, shows a strong personality and an ambitious mindset. " I liked that he asked for Kevin’s shirt, because I guarantee you they weren’t going to offer it to him ," he said with a laugh. And he wrapped up with a phrase that perfectly sums up his admiration for the Argentine: "That shows he has balls. I love it."
