At 3 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow (which corresponds to evening in Europe), Manchester City will play Crystal Palace in the second round of the Premier League. Before the match, Doku was interviewed by Sky Sports, where the presenter asked questions and descriptions, and Doku chose the teammate who best fit each description. Related link:

First question: Who is the strongest in the gym?

If you ask me, it's Guéhi.

Really?

Yes, it's him.

To be honest, I thought you'd pick him. Is he strong on the bench press? What impresses you about him?

I rarely see him doing bench press, but he's very physically strong.

Does anyone on the team do bench press? Does the club allow everyone to do strength training like bench pressing?

Of course, I do bench press myself.

How do you train?

I don't lift heavy weights because I want to maintain my speed, so I don't train with heavy weights, but many teammates do bench press.

So who lifts the most weight on the bench press? Do you compete on that at the club?

Actually, I don't know. We don't have that kind of strength competition, and everyone's training plan is different.

But you still think Guéhi is the strongest in the gym?

Yes, I do.

Next question: Who is the most naturally talented player?

I'd pick Foden.

Really?

Foden, or Cherki.

Why did you choose those two?

I feel they have a unique touch on the ball. Foden has had it since he was a kid—his way of dribbling and touching the ball is different from everyone else. Cherki is the same; his movements with the ball and his touch are very unique. So I think they're the most naturally talented players on the squad.

Your talent is also in that league.

Hmm...

Your dribbling and ball control are excellent.

There are many types of talent, and their touch talent is different from mine.

I've seen videos where they pass the ball back and forth constantly.

Exactly, that's the skill I'm talking about. I don't think that type of talent is the same as mine.

Do they pull off flashy moves during training drills?

Not overly so, but like I said, just watching their first touch, you can feel that extraordinary talent.

Who is the smartest person with the highest football IQ?

That's a difficult question to answer. To be honest, we rarely talk about deep things (laughs), so I can't think of anyone right now.

When Akanji was still on the team, he was particularly good at math.

So I'd pick Rúben Dias.

Really?

He knows a lot, talks a lot, and has broad knowledge, so I pick Rúben.

So Rúben would be perfect for team trivia challenges. Next question: Who sings the worst?

Nunes—I already have an answer for this one.

Really? Why? What does he usually sing?

Actually, nobody really sings here.

There's no tradition for new players to sing when they join the squad? You don't have that here?

That was a long time ago.

Ah, I see. So you didn't have to sing when you joined?

I did sing, but I'm a very good singer (laughs).

Interesting. Has Haaland sung in front of everyone? I'd really love to hear him sing.

He hasn't sung yet. The atmosphere in our squad is pretty relaxed about that—we don't force everyone to perform, but I think he could give it a try.

Then let's consider him the best singer on the team. Next question: Who has the most potential to become a Hollywood star?

I'd pick Haaland.

Why?

His hairstyle, words, and actions are very photogenic. Rúben Dias fits too—he really enjoys that sort of thing. His style and demeanor are excellent.

What kind of role do you think Haaland would be suited for?

Thriller films or something like that.

Thrillers? I can imagine that perfectly.

Thrillers, or a villain in a James Bond film.

Haha, that's spot on. Imagine him walking in while petting a cat. Next question: After a player retires, who would be most suitable to become the head coach?

Still Rúben. He knows a lot about tactics, has a very deep understanding of football, is very articulate, and is excellent at motivating and giving speeches.

Really?

Like pre-match motivational speeches—I can absolutely see him becoming a coach in the future.

Does he usually lead the motivational talks in the dressing room before matches?

Yes, before we leave the dressing room to go onto the pitch, he often speaks up to motivate us. That's why I think he's suited to coaching.
