Filmed during the final stretch of our pre-season trip to the United States in Columbus, Ohio, the Croatia defender reflects on his and the other players’ experiences while Stateside.
He also chats about how Pep Guardiola‘s men fared in our friendlies against Celtic, AC Milan and Barcelona, before a quick look ahead to our final clash with Chelsea, which we won 4-2 in front of over 70,000 fans at the Ohio Stadium.
Josko also discusses some of the memorable moments from tour, including training in New York’s iconic green space, Central Park, and a team trip to Universal Studios in Orlando.
Gvardiol jokes that he wanted to go on every ride at the theme park, while some of his team-mates weren’t as keen!
The defender enjoyed a hugely successful first season at City, helping the Club win a record fourth successive Premier League title, as well as the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
And after a brief period of adaptation to the rigours of English football, which he addresses in the podcast, Josko then reflects on how he was able to finish the season with a flourish, including grabbing five goals in a seven match period!
Finally, Gvardiol also pays tribute to his fellow Croatian Mateo Kovacic, the importance he’s had in helping him to settle at City and why he feels the midfielder is one of the finest operators in the game.
