The Manchester City manager suffered a run of five consecutive defeats for the first time in his career. Besides, the crisis worsened when your team, beat Feyenoord 3-0 last Tuesday until the 75th minute in the Champions League, ended up tying 3-3. In an interview for SkySportsPep opened up about the situation the club is experiencing prior to the confrontation against Liverpool at Anfield.
The worst streak in his history as a coach: “I felt it when we won four Premier Leagues in a row, not now. Even in those moments I felt that: “this too shall pass.” I never thought that when we won and won it would be eternal. That the moment would come: “this too shall pass.”
The pressure of feeling responsible: “You can't imagine how much they pay me, it comes with the salary. If I don't want that pressure, I resign, I go home and I don't have that weight on my shoulders. All managers do.”

Recover stability: “He believes that we must continue in the game. We must not have negative thoughts when the score is 3-1 against Feyenoord. Of course they will continue there, but the important thing is how long it lasts. That is the difference.”
His greatest contribution to the team: “They have to feel that they are really good. That is the most important thing. I have told them all the time, for a long time, that they are exceptional. Because I really, really believe it. They are in an exceptional club and I am sorry to tell them that they have a coach exceptional.”.
Match against Liverpool: “I would love to say that we are going to win at Anfield and then win 20 games, but in the situation we are in, I don't believe it. Now it's time to suffer. Now it's time to be there, be positive. But if there is a result at the moment, “We won't be who we are. Still, we are there, we want to stay there as long as possible.”

Goals for this season: “But knowing the reality and the team, we cannot set ourselves the goal of winning the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup. It is unnecessary when in the last six games we have not been able to win a single one.”
