Nothing is going well at Manchester City. Still beaten by Aston Villa (2-1) on Saturday afternoon, the reigning four-time English champion is only a shadow of himself and is now in a worrying seventh place in the standings. While Erling Haaland made his self-criticism, ensuring that he was not up to standard, Pep Guardiola did not fail to express his disagreement with him. This time, the Spaniard made a painful confession: “We've broken all the records, now we're starting to break more records on the other side. It's the truth…” he confided.
City will train on Christmas Day!
On top of that, players will have to train on Christmas Day, which hasn't been the case in recent years. The reason? The match scheduled for the following day against Everton: “We are going to train on Christmas Day this season, we have Everton at 12:30 on Boxing Day. But in recent seasons we have had Christmas Day off, which has been very pleasant” he confided for BBC Sport. As a reminder, Everton remains in two good draws against Arsenal (0-0) and Chelsea (0-0). Suffice to say that the task does not look easy for the Citizens.
