Man City 0-2 Liverpool: Pep Guardiola sees ‘bright future’ for side
The former Barcelona and Bayern coach is not the one who predicts the future, but instead demands a response to post-match comments from Liverpool boss Arne Slot, who believes that Arne Slot will be re-entered next season A strong challenge, Guardiola said he hopes the Dutchman is right.
“I want it,” he said. “I know what we do as a team. It’s not enough, but I met my team in the last two Premier League games – they’re very good at Newcastle and Liverpool. outstanding.
“In Madrid, neither of these two games are good enough, but today’s pace, rhythm, urgency, solidarity with most people, I play in a difficult position and I approved that, which is really good.”
Manchester City’s eighth Premier League defeat against the campaign has given them 20 points in the championship-elected match.
“How many points do they have in front of Arsenal?” Guardiola questioned when asked if Manchester City were defeated by the champion winner. “How many games have they lost?”
Answer 11 and one tells his own story.
For Manchester City, the challenge is to have a place in the Champions League next season, and for this, a fifth may be enough.
With 12 games left, they are fourth, third behind Nottingham Forest, but have a higher goal percentage but five points ahead of Fulham, and they are tenth.
It’s a less exciting task than trying to get a fourth straight title or winning historic high notes as the first two seasons entered their final weeks and it’s been in front of them, but Guardiola firmly believes that this will be enough motivation.
“If it doesn’t happen, it’s because we’re not good enough, it’s because we lack hunger and desire,” he said.
“Four to five teams are too tight; Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Aston Villa and the rest of the team are very good. It’s not easy, but we’ll try it.”
