Manchester City does not raise his head. After falling into Champions League against Real Madrid, Liverpool won them in Premier. And now, on a new intersemanal date, they face a Tottenham who wants to complicate fourth the fourth place of the ‘Sky Blue’ team. At a press conference, however, Guardiola tries to convey tranquility.
“It is not the biggest challenge,” replies the Catalan when asked about whether this reconstruction that City is experiencing is the biggest challenge of his career. “The challenge I had was when I started my career as a technician … when we were together as ‘Staff’ and demonstrating, to myself and as a team, that we could achieve it …”, he explains.
Rebuild? We have already done it; After nine years it is not the same team … we have already done it two or three times
Pep Guardiola
For PEP, in fact, this is not the first time that the City has to ‘rebuild’: “We have already done it; after nine years it is not the same team … We have already done it two or three times.”
Before the Tottenham they will defend their fourth place: they add 44 points, the same as the Newcastle (5th) and only one more than the Bournemouth or Chelsea (with 43). The fight to enter the next League of Champions has seven teams in Liza … for three places (if the Premier consolidates the extra quota for 2025-26, which seems to do so).
At a press conference, in addition, Guardiola spoke of a Haaland who continues to recover from his injury. It could come: “We will know this night, after training. I hope so, but I still don’t know … it is better, but in the last two games he has not been able to play, we’ll see tomorrow …”.
