Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, made important statements after the victory over Plymouth with a score of 3-1 in the FA Cup Round of 16.

Guardiola commented on the outstanding performance of O'Reilly, saying: "He is a player with a significant presence on the field, not one of the traditional academy players; he possesses physical strength alongside his talent."

He added: "O'Reilly usually plays in an attacking midfield position, but he showed remarkable tactical flexibility today in the left-back position. He scored two wonderful goals and was an important element in set pieces, which is something we need because we are not a tall team."

Guardiola did not miss the opportunity to praise the level that Plymouth presented, stating: "We faced a very well-organized team, and it is not easy to play against them. What they did against Brentford and Liverpool was not surprising; they were strong defensively and made things difficult for us."

He added: "We delivered a good match; step by step we are improving. Jack Grealish had a great performance, as did Vitor Reis. We were patient in possession because Plymouth relies on counter-attacks. In the end, I am very happy with what the team delivered."

He concluded his remarks, saying: "Now we are in the quarter-finals, and we will wait for the draw to know our next opponent."
