Barcelona star Gerard Pique has given his seal of approval to John Stones .
The pair meet in the Nou Camp tonight when the Spaniards take on Manchester City in the Champions League.
And Spain star Pique reckons England defender Stones couldn’t have a better tutor than Pep Guardiola to turn him into a world class act after the super- coach took his game to another level during his time with the Spanish giants.
“I like the way Stones plays” says Pique.
“His style is a bit like mine although it is difficult to play that way because in England the style of play is different.
“But Pep will help him a lot in terms of taking those controlled risks with the ball.”
Says Stones: “The aim for every player is to improve under the new manager. He’s done it with numerous players, so many that I can’t count.
“But I’m working hard to rake in everything he says to me. When you work with some like that every day you feel like you are always learning.”
