When we said that the best defense is attack, we did not mean the attack against ourselves.
Manchester City has had it again. A narrow defeat in a derby against Manchester United, which pushes them a little further Skyblues In a black series: 8 losses in 11 matches. As reported by the GuardianPep Guardiola did not hide after the meeting and held himself responsible: « Today we had to win. I'm the boss, I'm the manager, and I'm not good enough. I have to find solutions, and so far I haven't. This is reality. »
The reality of 8 defeats in 11 matches
Relaunched on his ability to turn things around, Pep remains combative, but lucid: « I want it, desperately. But 8 defeats out of 11 matches? I'm here to try and I will keep trying again and again. This is reality. At a big club, when you lose 8 games out of 11, something is wrong. I can say that the schedule is busy, there are injuries to the players, but 3-0 against Feyenoord (after 74 minutes)and we draw. Is it because of the injuries or the schedule? No. »
A ninth season on the bench and, inevitably, the thorny question of « Pep Magic » surfaced. Scathing response from the person concerned: “ I didn't have any energy or magic before. I have never been a magician. You never saw me say when we were winning: “I am a magician.” »
SO, finished or not?
