Now, in order to ‘wrap the ring’, he is finalizing the arrival of City’s academy manager Jason Wilcox as director of football.
Although he didn’t score and had to retire “touched” in the 62nd minute, Romo Lafia (Brussels, 1-6-2004) played a key role in City’s debacle. The defensive midfielder, who trained at Anderlecht’s academy, recovered six balls, intercepted another, completed 18 of 22 passes he attempted and He filtered out Gnebo’s great passing streaks to make it 2-0.

“He’s a select player. Out of a million players there is hardly anyone who can go to City and make his way there. That’s Romo. He has a strong personality, brings calmness with the ball and, at the same time, is aggressive in the recovery. He has everything Pep Guardiola is looking for.”Vincent Kompany, now at Burnley, cried when Lafia left Anderlecht in 2020.

However, his references are more about positional football. “I noticed a lot in Fernandinho and Busquets. When you’re young, you want to go left and right, but Fernandinho knows what he’s doing. He does not run to run. He is the brain of the team and tries to be efficient.”
Nathan Jones, his new boss, is already wringing his hands after Lafia missed nine Premier League matches through injury: “He’s great on the ball. Without possession we need to work with him, but once he does, he’s going to be a fantastic talent.”
