After the defeat to Manchester Unitedthe difference from city to the leader of English Championship, Arsenal, increased to eight points. This Wednesday, in a press conference, coach Pep Guardiola lost track of the subject and asked the team to focus on the next game, against Tottenham.
“If (Arsenal) are eight points ahead it’s because they deserve to be there. They’ve been better than us so far, but there are still a lot of games to play. And that’s how we got back,” he began.
“Just think about the next game and then we’ll see what happens. We’ve been in this position many times in the past. It’s not the first time we’re there,” she concluded.
According to the Spanish commander, this was the strategy that made the team overcome the Liverpool in recent Premier League title races. Although Klopp’s charges overcame Manchester City in the 2019/20 season, Guardiola’s team won in the 2018/19 and 2021/22 editions.
“We cannot think of high expectations other than winning the next game. Always when we are behind I say not to think. We’ve caught up with Liverpool in recent years.”
In addition to the two titles against Liverpool, City won the English Championship under Pep in two other opportunities (2018/19 and 2020/21). Thus, the team adds four of the last five cups of the National League. Seeking to continue with this dominance, the team faces Tottenham, this Thursday. The ball will roll at 5 pm (Brasília time), at the Etihad Stadium.
