Statements ahead of the away match Manchester City with Everton (27/12, 22:15), he did Pep Guardiola.
The Catalan coach was asked about the doubt that exists around his team after its recent negative results, answering that the world judges without understanding the work done by him and his players, while he clarified that the failures that preceded them are those who lifted Manchester City to the top.
What the Manchester City coach said in detail:
On the criticism he and his team receive: “That’s our job. When you don’t win, you are nothing, a zero. As long as you win, they want you to fail more than ever. I have felt this since my first day in Barcelona. The world is waiting. We had achieved so many great things, won so many titles, and people were saying how well and how smart we were playing. But just because we were successful. They didn’t understand anything we did, but they gave us credit for winning.
You have to see beyond that. When you’re not winning, the challenge will come and that’s cool. Keep challenging us and we’ll see what happens. I never thought at the start of any season how many trophies we would win at the end of it. Never. This is a tragic approach. In front of us there is only the next game and nothing else.
I have always had great footballers at my disposal. I have told them that we have come this far not because of the final in Istanbul or our win over Inter. We got this far because we were beaten by Monaco, Liverpool, Tottenham, Lyon. It’s because we were beaten in the Champions League final by Chelsea. Those losses hurt, but only for a while. They helped us beat Inter. It is a whole process of evolution. For us all this was something new. Now we believe we can beat anyone. We haven’t done that since my first day here. It’s been a work in progress for 8 years, with many disappointments, which are part of the sport”.
