Guardiola: We defeated Arsenal 1-5 last season. This time we won t be satisfied, but the result is fair
In the 5th round of the Premier League, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Manchester City at home. After the game, Guardiola was interviewed by the BBC and talked about her views on the game.
Talk mood
"I'm disappointed with the result. Yes, last season we equalized the score against Arsenal at the last minute, and this time they did it at home. This is football, the game played 97 or 98 minutes, we performed very tenaciously, this week was very difficult for us. From Thursday to Sunday, we faced very strong opponents, and we had to go to London later. This demands on the team, and the opponents are really strong, and the result is fair."
Talk to use the same starting lineup
"Because I decided to let these players go when I woke up yesterday morning Sometimes I am surprised myself. My friend, I am older. "
Talking about whether Manchester City is more tenacious than when they are against Brighton
"I hope the team will perform better. I come here to enjoy my team. Today I am very proud of their performance. Some games and opponents require you to show excellent body language, mental outlook and teamwork, which is really incredible."
Talking about Haaland's goal
"When the counter-attack opportunity appears, we are happy to seize this opportunity of rapid conversion, which is exactly our advantage. This is not our usual style of play, but sometimes it is right We have a strong hand, we must accept this."
Talking about the team's performance after 5 rounds
"We are still working hard to grow, the team has many new players, including the goalkeeper, and the problem of injury still exists. This is a very young team, is it our youngest lineup in history, or our main framework for the future. So we will come step by step to see what will happen. This is a long process, we have to deal with it one game after another."
Talking about the difficult schedule
" This week was very difficult, we played for Manchester United, Naples, and then Arsenal. The A champion and derby battle are always full of challenges. We need to take it step by step now to strive to get more points. "
Talking about this game
"We have shown strong psychological qualities. When our high-pressures don't work, the game will become difficult because the opponents are very strong. We lost 1-5 against them last season, and today we were tied. We can't say we are satisfied, but we can't say it's not a fair result. We have some opportunities in the counterattack, which is not the way we like to play. I want to praise Arsenal for his performance, and at the same time we praise our team for showing strong spirit and resilience."
