Manchester City teen Rico Lewis recognises the responsibility he has even as a young player.
Lewis is eager to become role model.
“My goals have never been to win trophies, it's to be someone who people look to in the team," said Lewis to City's website.
“I looked up to Gundogan, who was amazing last year. A lot of the players, even the older players, looked up to him because he was reliable in the team.
“I know I played my role but I'm talking like Gundo last year, he was so important to how we played in nearly every game. Rodrigo pretty much played every game.
“In the middle of the season when I was playing a lot more people were happy to see me there but at the start of the season it was a shock to everyone. Being a regular will come with time, I hope."
