Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, reacted after his team's defeat against Brighton this Saturday.
Times are tough at Manchester City. Beaten for the second time in a row in the Premier League after their defeat against Brighton (2-1) this Saturday, the Citizens see Liverpool, leader, widen the gap with five points in advance after their victory against Aston Villa (2- 0) in the evening.
However, Pep Guardiola, the Skyblues coach, remains confident. Despite a cascade of injuries which seriously affects his squad, notably with the absence of Rodri, sidelined until the end of the season, the Catalan technician believes that the title race is far from over.
Guardiola does not give up
“That’s what people want. It's normal, we've won a lot, it happens, declared the former Bayern and Barça coach. I wish I had the whole team so we could fight. And if another team wins, okay, we'll congratulate them. »
“But it’s not about giving up the title because we’re not there yet. I have this feeling, we're not there yet. We can't play every three or four days in this situation. So I would like to have the players”added Guardiola.
On November 23, after the international break, the English champions will host Tottenham (9th) for the 12th day of the championship. Another setback against Spurs could seriously compromise City's chances of winning a fifth consecutive title.
