      Inside the rise of Savinho with Man City star so talented that under-14s coach was SACKED for leaving him on the bench

      by

      HE is the shining light whose midweek heroics stopped a dismal season from turning into a total disaster.A rare bright spark in the Etihad gloom, as Pep Guardiola’s serial winners struggle to keep their campaign on an even keel.Manchester City ace Savinho has stood out at the EtihadCredit: AlamySavinho is now a regular with the Brazil national teamCredit: AFPSavinho was ‘snubbed’ by an Atletico Mineiro coach, who was firedCredit: SuppliedAnd rated such a standout talent back home that — even in a nation boasting the likes of Vinicius Jr and Endrick — many are hailing him as Brazil’s  standard bearer of the future.Not bad going for the skinny South American who arrived at Manchester City in the summer as a £21million snip in an era of eye-watering fees — and a near-unknown to plenty of fans.Yet, while others were in the dark, Guardiola always knew Savinho would be a gem. A kid tipped for greatness from the day he walked into Atletico Mineiro as a 12-year-old.His off-the-bench role in rescuing City’s Champions League assault — he scored one and made another in the must-win game against Club Brugge — was just one more notch on the belt.Read More on FootballFor Savinho has been the headline act at every level  since his first steps with Mineiro, who immediately realised they had an uncut diamond on their hands.Which makes it even more amazing to learn, just two years into his footballing education, he was once left to rot on the bench by a coach who could not see what all the fuss was about.Savinho was only 14 and Mineiro’s top brass were so petrified their priceless jewel may slip through the net that the man responsible had to go. Immediately.Leaving him out was the football equivalent of turning down The Beatles — and even now the man who took him to the club shakes his head in disbelief.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSJoao Paulo Alves de Paula was Savinho’s first coach at Mineiro and they are still so close that he stays with the City star when he comes to visit.Joaozinho, as he is known, recalls that jaw-dropping first sight of the lad — and the similar amazement when he could not get a game.Man City boss Pep Guardiola looks forward to the return of injured players to help Champions League campaign He revealed: “Savio was in a group of 20 kids and the only one we picked. He was only 12, a year younger than the others but overwhelmingly the best.“Back then Atletico Mineiro did not have an Under-12s, so he was against older kids from the start. And he stood out above everyone.“When I saw him on trials day I almost fell over. His technical ability and dribbling were extraordinary for a child of that age. I was so excited to see him with the ball at his feet.Savinho helped to save Man City from Champions League disaster against Club BruggeCredit: Getty“Over the next three years he took huge strides, made decisions in seconds and finished like an adult — all with boundless confidence and a smile.“But it wasn’t all a walk down the red carpet because when Savio moved to the Under-14s, the coach just didn’t like him.“He kept leaving him on the bench. He barely played and when he did, it was at left-back. My hair was standing on end.Coach ‘snubbed’ Savinho“Savio can play on either side but he’s a winger. I couldn’t believe what the coach was doing.“That mistake, that lack of judgment, could have cost Savinho his football career and seriously damaged the club.“So, with such crazy things and  wrong decisions, the coach was fired  and I took over the Under-14s. The smile was back on Savio’s face.”And that smile has rarely been off the face of the Brazilian since.Former Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli gave him a debut at 16 and within two years the City Football Group had signed him.He was initially placed with Troyes but, after loans at PSV Eindhoven and Girona,  Savinho moved to the Etihad in a deal worth £33.6m in July last year.Brazil debut vs EnglandA Brazil debut came against England in March, ten caps have followed and at Christmas he had a starring role — including a first City goal — in getting the champions back on track.Then, with their Euro hopes on the line as Brugge held a half-time lead, Pep turned to Savinho to save the day and was rewarded with a second-half rescue act.Even Guardiola, not given for singling out players, highlighted his Brazilian star — and Joaozinho reckons he will get even better under the Spaniard.He added: “If he has no serious injuries, Brazil will be world champions with Savio in the team.“The team is going through big changes and Savio will be their leader, no doubts.“He is in great hands with Guardiola as his coach and I’m certain he is going to become a huge star of both the Premier League and Brazil.”Savinho also believes he will flourish under Guardiola.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe said: “I scored plenty of goals at Girona, they demanded a lot from  me. Here, Pep is also very demanding.“I’ve been working on my finishing. As a forward, I can’t simply expect our striker to score all the goals.” More

      Wolves 2 Aston Villa 0: Hosts out of relegation zone with huge Midlands derby win in blow to Unai Emery’s top-four hopes

      by

      UNAI EMERY will be even more desperate to land Marcus Rashford after his side drew a blank at lowly Wolves.Villa might be £70million richer this weekend following the sale of Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr.Wolves won the Midlands Derby against Aston VillaCredit: GettyWolves ace Jean-Ricner Bellegarde scored the opener against VillaCredit: GettyVilla boss Unai Emery’s top-four hopes were dealt a major blowCredit: GettyVilla were denied an equaliser against Wolves by VARCredit: RexBut it was Vitor Pereira’s men who cashed in as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde gave them a first-half lead before Villa target Matheus Cunha finished the job seven minutes into stoppage time.How Emery must wish Wolves would do business and let him have his brilliant Brazilian! When Ollie Watkins limped off at half-time following a clash with Jose Sa, and never returned, it would usually have been the cue to send on super-sub Duran.But the Colombian was already counting his dosh in Saudi Arabia following his £70m transfer and, without their talismanic back-up striker, Villa blanked out.Read More on FootballMeanwhile Wolves were left to celebrate a crucial and deserved win which lifted them out of the relegation zone, two points clear of Leicester.Emery hadn’t lost a Premier League match against a team in the drop zone in 18 matches with Villa.But it wasn’t long before that record looked in jeopardy as Wolves made an early breakthrough after 12 minutes.It was a classy move which belied their lowly league position as they moved the ball around with precision and pace.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSCunha fed Goncalo Guedes and he squared the ball to Pablo Sarabia who threaded a neat ball in behind the Villa backline.Bellegarde made a darting diagonal run on the blindside of Boubacar Kamara and found himself with just Emi Martinez to beat.Man Utd and Arsenal in Matheus Cunha transfer battle with Wolves star ready to make summer moveIt would have been so easy for Bellegarde to panic or look to pass the buck.However, he lashed the ball right-footed beyond Martinez from nine yards to send Molineux wild.It was the perfect way for Bellegarde to mark his 50th appearance for Wolves as he bagged his first goal at Molineux. And it exposed the fragility of Villa’s makeshift defence which saw new £6m Spanish right-back Andres Garcia team up with stop-gap centre-half Kamara for the first time.Injuries to Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres, and Diego Carlos’ departure to Fenerbahce, had left Emery scrambling for defensive options.And though Kamara had been a stand-out stand-in against Celtic on Wednesday, the big Frenchman was caught napping and failed to scan his area or spot the threat of Bellegarde’s well-timed run.Villa tried to fight backThat goal appeared to knock the stuffing out of Villa, who had started brightly enough.Garcia swept over a raking cross from the right and Nelson Semedo did well to get a vital header in front of Ollie Watkins, who was waiting to pounce at the back post.Lucas Digne worked the resulting corner short to Youri Tielemans who crashed in a shot which Sarabia managed to get his head to and deflect for another corner.But Wolves’ goal gave them something to hold onto and Villa became desperate and there were bookings for John McGinn for stamping on Rayan Ait-Nouri’s toes and Morgan Rogers for pulling down Toti.Sarabia then completed a hat-trick of yellow cards when he was booked for sarcastically applauding the assistant ref for flagging him offside.Villa were looking more ragged than a tramp’s vest and Kamara wasn’t having as enjoyable a night as he had against Celtic.Ollie Watkins injuredWolves almost capitalised on his naivety when Cunha chased down a through ball and ragdolled Kamara to burst through on goal.However, Martinez denied him with a brilliant diving save and when the ball broke to Guedes he fired inches wide from 20 yards.Villa were wobbling and Kamara had to stretch to head over a wicked delivery from a Sarabia free-kick before Guedes fired wide with only Martinez to beat.The half ended when Martinez sprinted off his line to brilliantly block Guedes who was through on goal again. Emery had seen enough and made four changes at the break.Worryingly for Villa one of those was the departure of Watkins, who picked up a knock in a first-half clash with Sa and didn’t appear for the second half.Villa denied equaliserEmery thought his changes had paid off when Villa appeared to pull level after 53 minutes from a slick free-kick.Leon Bailey disguised a pass to McGinn on the left and the Scot delivered a low centre which sub Donyell Malen bundled in at the back post.However specialist VAR Matt Donohue stepped in and judged that Rogers had come from an offside position to block off Semedo – and despite minimal contact – the goal was chalked off.Moments later it was Wolves’ turn to curse VAR when Malen appeared to clip Toti’s heel to send him sprawling in the Villa box.But Donohue ruled that no offence had taken place to Wolves’ bewilderment.Villa had rallied but Wolves were fighting for their lives. They were given some light relief when a substitute board cock-up saw Guedes go off – then reappear from the dug-out again – when it was realised Ait-Nouri was actually the player supposed to be subbed!READ
