Before the England clash which will pit his Manchester City team against Liverpool on Sunday, Pep Guardiola spoke of his weakened status.
Beautiful winner from Real Madrid in
Champions LeagueWednesday evening at Anfield (2-0), Liverpool could follow up, still at home, with a second prestigious success ahead of
Manchester CitySunday for the shock of the
Premier League matchday 13.
If they were to beat the Cityzens, Arne Slot's players would hurt their rivals a little more and perhaps Pep Guardiola a lot more. Could the Spanish coach be in danger after he extended his contract for two years last week? The person concerned did not avoid the subject.
18 trophies with Man City
« I know people say : “Why isn’t Pep in trouble, why isn’t Pep fired? » It is thanks to what we have done over the last eight years that I have this margin », Declared Guardiola in a pre-match press conference, quoted by the English media.
The one who won 18 trophies with Manchester City is not candid either: “ In this football club you have to win and if you don't win you are in trouble… One thing is for sure, I want to stay. But as soon as I feel that I am no longer positive for the club, another change will come. It has to be. »
The dirty series
The Cityzens remained on an incredible series of five consecutive defeats, in all competitions, before an equally surprising poor performance recorded Tuesday evening in the Champions League (5th day). Kevin de Bruyne and company conceded a draw at home in front of
Feyenoord (3-3) after leading 3-0.
