And speaking to the Mirror, the former City midfielder has hailed his ‘little brother’ for his outstanding form, while recognising the role Guardiola has played in his transformation.He said: “Pep is the type of guy who can take a talent and get it to its maximum level. He is a top manager. Raheem, my little brother, joined when Pellegrini was at the club. Since Pep arrived Raheem is in another world. He is complete.Pep has given him the confidence he has needed. When he played forLiverpoolI was always scared of him because he is short and so fast, so quick!“Him and Suarez and Coutinho? They were unplayable.”2
