Pep relieved as Man City secure victory, admits he’s done with the league title race
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said after his team won 2-0 at Leicester City, their second win in 10 Premier League games on December 29 that this is what we all wanted. It may not have been the best performance, but hopefully the win will lift the spirits. It was very important that we won because the game was tight, especially in the second half. We didn’t have the strength to maintain the standard for the full 90 minutes, but hopefully in the New Year we can come back.
Pep admits the Premier League title race is still a long way off and we have accepted that there is no way we can win this season. But we still have things to play for, the FA Cup and a top-four finish, so winning will help.
Pep continued that to get the win, we have to do something. If you are not in good แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ form, you will not get the win you want. The most important thing now is to get points to help build morale. Many good things happened in this game. If I have to find a word to describe the feeling at the moment. It would be a feeling of relief because in the past we have done many great things. But now it is so difficult to win. This is a relief.
This match is Pep’s 500th game in charge of Man City, and he said he was delighted for everyone. It was a great game and he had many memories with the players he worked with, from the first trophy until now. The players gave him a great gift to celebrate 500 matches like this.
However, when asked by reporters whether there would be another 500 matches, Pep replied that there was absolutely no way it would happen.
