He told a post-match press conference: "Of course Kevin is difficult to replace we know that. For the quality he has, there is no doubt about it, but at same time the club decided on Rayan because he has incredible skills close to the box and great vision, pass in many things. It was just a first game with tough, tough conditions. I'm really pleased he came here."
Cherki and Manchester City are back in action on Sunday in the Club World Cup when they face Al Ain in their second group game.
