1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11th News Recently, Manchester City coach Guardiola was interviewed by “Every Sport”. He admitted that he performed poorly this season and said that the team needs to regain form in the upcoming season.
Although Guardiola led Manchester City to advance to the Champions League next season, he believes that the performance this season is not ideal, full of ups and downs and instability. It is currently on vacation, and Guardiola is mentally preparing for the next challenging new season. In an interview with “XBuyer”, Guardiola admitted: “We have not impressed anyone this season.” Because City won nothing this season except to defeat Manchester United to win the Community Shield Cup.
Although the club’s goal is to win all the championships again, Guardiola is not in a hurry to change his tactics, but rather to gradually adjust through the game: “We will adjust according to the actual situation, and as the season progresses, we will correct the mistakes, and the opponents already know our playing style.”
Guardiola believes that over time, the opponents are becoming more and more familiar with Manchester City’s tactics, which makes the game preparation more complicated: “I’ve been in Manchester City for ten years, and it will be very boring to repeat the same thing. We like to try new things, step by step, and use new players and existing resources. This year we have encountered very Many questions, but in those years when they won the championship, the boys overcame many obstacles, which was really fun. “
Guardiola knew how to deal with the pressure. He recalled his experience when he joined Barcelona when he was young: “For me, it was difficult to come here when he was young. Walking into the Camp Nou, facing fifty journalists, being judged…it was difficult. But I have veterans to protect me, and there was also coach Cruyff. He would help you when you started, and put a lot of pressure when you made your mark.”
At the same time, Guardiola also praised the performance of Barcelona youth training players, such as Yamal, Kubasi, Casado and Barde. He thinks these young players are very natural in the face of important games and don’t feel much pressure. Regarding the press pressure from the media, Guardiola said that although the current players are ready, they are also more susceptible to criticism: “In our time, there was no social media, so it’s simpler.”
He was about to usher in his tenth season in Manchester City, Guardiola emphasized his passion for football: “I told my players that you must love football. Otherwise, no matter how good the living conditions are and how rich the contract is, you can’t hold on to this professional world for ten years. Behind this should be an amateur spirit, a feeling of street football. As coaches, we areTry not to deprive them of their fun during training. ”
Guardiola won 18 trophys with Manchester City, but he knew clearly that if he didn’t continue to win, the club might fire him because football only looks at the present and not the past: “It’s the same for players, no matter what you did or won before, you have to prove yourself again or you will be replaced. ”
