Pep Guardiola commented on Manchester City’s results.
– I am incredibly honest with myself. We are here because of me. It’s not about the players. They naturally slow down a little, and that’s normal. It was the same thing last season. But given the results, I had to find a solution. Ultimately, we found ourselves in this situation. I blame myself. I managed the players and failed to motivate them. This is reality. Why have they followed me in the past and gotten results? We were the only undefeated team in Europe and were top of the Premier League. And now we are in decline.
Regarding injuries, we talked about it a lot. But even in such situations, I should have found a way to achieve better results. I hope we can bounce back. There’s something I’m missing. Something I don’t do very well. Ultimately, when you lose a lot of matches, the coach bears an incredible responsibility. You have to sense what the team needs for their confidence. And I couldn’t do it.
We got a result against Leicester, but nothing more. Look, we all know what our level is. How does the team compare to the last eight years? We are far from it. I don’t deny it. A single result won’t change my view of how the team currently appears. But at the same time, I hope the results will help us believe in ourselves and calm down,” noted the Manchester City coach.
