The English side celebrated their victory with all last weekend and yesterday they had to face Brighton in an outstanding game.
Manchester City have completed an incredible campaign. The team led by Pep Guardiola won the Premier League title last weekend and since then sky blues fans and club members have been celebrating with all their might .
And that was one of the concerns the Spanish manager had ahead of the final game against Brighton which took place yesterday afternoon. To all the complications due to the wear and tear of the athletes in the season was added the factor of the consequences of these festivities. .
So said Guardiola after the 1-1 draw which, by the way, called the team seagulls for the first time in their history in European competition.
“I was worried about how the team was going to be today, having drunk all the booze in Manchester 40 hours ago “said the technician in reference to the title.
THE citizens they were proclaimed champions last Saturday after Arsenal fell from Mikel Arteta, which mathematically ensured City victory in the Premier League. “We showed why we are champions against a team that plays like Brighton, they had chances, we had chances, we scored a goal, they too, I didn’t see any lack of intensity “, he remarked.
He also took the time to mention one of the controversial games of the match: the goal denied to Erling Haaland. “Look at him, look at him. If it is a fault, any action for him is ”.
Later in the conference, Guardiola dwelt on the team’s physical complications. “We haven’t had any injuries for a long time, but as we approach the Champions League final, four or five players have little problems and we have to recover them ”.
“We had to play with a strong side against Brighton because they can lock you up for ninety minutes in your own half and I didn’t want that,” he explained.
It should be noted that the title obtained is a new trophy in Guardiola’s long list of winners. With Barcelona, he won 14 titles in four years, considering them a historic sextet for the Barça team. Moreover, at Bayer Munich he managed to win seven trophies and now with the Citizens he has won 12 titles in six years, which can be extended in a few weeks.
Along the way, the definition of the FA Cup against Manchester United, scheduled for Saturday June 3, then the Champions League final against Inter a week later at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. .
“Sometimes playing with that pressure is good, it’s necessary. What we have done is extraordinary. Everyone knows it, all coaches, sporting directors, players and clubs know how exceptional he is,” Guardiola commented after the last game against Chelsea.
“I couldn’t imagine winning five (prime ministers) out of six. We don’t need decades to think how good it was, we have that feeling (now),” he added.
Of course, he ended up focusing on the new goals anyway. “We won’t be complete if we don’t win the Champions League “, he launched.
