Pep Guardiola’s rude admission to City: “There’s nothing to do this year, because we’re not going to win anything”

Manchester City suffered more than necessary in the hard-fought victory over Tottenham in the Premier League. The citizens they started losing 2-0 in the first half , go and rest. However, in the second half, the team of Erling Haaland and company made a epic comeback that left the final score with an incredible 4-2 . Despite this, Pep Guardiola city ​​manager, erupted in anger at the situations that unfolded during the meeting.

To start, the Spanish strategist expressed his disagreement with the performance of the team and what was shown during the first half: “I could say how happy we are, but I can also admit that we have changed or that there is nothing to do this year because we are not going to win anything . We lack energy, passion, many things. Did we play the first part badly? No. Tottenham are a great team with the threats they have up front, but they haven’t kicked us on goal.”

Then the ex-Barcelona coach fired at the whole club: “I want a reaction, not just from the players, but the whole organization . We are a team of happy flowers, I do not want that . I want to beat Arsenal . I can’t deny how happy I am (to have won), but we are very far from the team that we were . There are many things where we are very, very far.

But Pep didn’t stop there, as he started throwing his darts at all those responsible, without exception: “We played because my coach told me to do this and that,” he said. he stated in reference to his players; Continuing in the same tone, he added:But there’s nothing coming out of them gills. We were lucky, and if we don’t change, sooner or later we will lose points . There is no passion, fire or desire to win from minute one. It’s the same with our fans ”.

And it is that even the fans of the citizens he was saved from Guardiola’s wrath: “They were totally silent for 45 minutes . They booed because we were losing, but not because we were playing badly. We are playing well”. Thereafter, the strategist continued to target the whole club:Maybe they are very happy because we have won four Premier Leagues in five years. . After we score a goal, they react, but that’s not the question. We are very, very far from being able to compete at the highest level.

Afterwards, the coach was pithy with the performance his team showed: “Do you think we will shorten the distance we have with Arsenal if we play the way we do? Certainly not . today we were lucky . If we want to win something or compete, instead of complaining, complaining and complaining (referring to the players) there’s no way we’ll win anything.”

Pep took the opportunity to mention several times that the result was simply luck. In this way he expressed: “Do you think this type of comeback (against Tottenham) will always happen? No, that won’t happen. It was just luck.”

The fury of the former Bayern Munich coach even took away one of the heroes of the evening, who even hurried to a double to contribute to the victory: “Riyad Mahrez is a great player. Before the World Cup, I was on vacation. Now he’s realized it.”

However, when it came to condemning his angry comments, he mentioned that not everything is the responsibility of one player, as well as criticizing those who question Manchester City’s current status as a winning team:He’s not just a player, that’s all . People say we don’t succeed because we haven’t won any Champions League, Trash can! Two consecutive titles (Premier League) against this Liverpool » .

The team led by Joseph Guardiola is at five points behind Arsenal, English league leaders, yes, The Gunners they have one less party . City’s next challenge will be against wolves , this Sunday . Also, they have to see the faces with the RB Leipzig in the knockout stages of the Champions League on February 22 the citizen team will therefore have one month to improve the performance that their technical director is questioning so much.
