“In another club, in another environment, we lost many big games, that cannot happen. But fortunately, the directive gave me its vote of confidence to continue,” Pep added.
PEP is confident that the next season will be better for Manchester City.ap
Guardiola said football is moments and trusts that for the next season Manchester City can return to his best version.
“So many things have happened. What happened this season does not mean that the next one will happen. Hopefully the next one is not like this. Of course we have to change things, no doubt. But next season it will be better,” I trust coach Citizen.
Affected by injuries
Pep Guardiola also indicated that one of the main reasons for the crisis that Manchester City has lived this season has a lot to do with the injuries of several key pieces. During the course, Citizens have suffered casualties such as Rodri, John Stones, Erling Haaland or Kovacic at specific times of the year.
“One of the main reasons has been the absence of many injured players in important departments, so we were competing in the most difficult period with only 12 or 13 players of the first team,” he said.
“It’s hard to play like this every three days. Before, when we won a lot, we also had many problems. Not as many as this season, but many. We always knew how to overcome and overcome the situation,” PEP said.
