Guardiola pointed out that Cherki showed promise during the Club World Cup, but then had a few weeks off. He believes that Cherki's skills are evident when he receives the ball, but noted that not every situation requires exceptional plays.

Guardiola also highlighted Cherki's ability to perform under pressure, drawing comparisons to street players who are not intimidated by the game. He noted that Cherki is a player who seeks the ball and is confident in his abilities.

However, Guardiola emphasized that Cherki is still a relatively new player and needs time to develop his skills and learn how to play with his teammates. He believes that players like Cherki, who are intelligent and observant, can quickly adapt to the game.

Guardiola's comments suggest that he is optimistic about Cherki's potential and is eager to see how he will develop as a player.
