Pep adjusts to Man City’s poor form but is ready to fight
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said after his team lost 1-4 to Sporting Lisbon in the first round of the Champions League, matchday 4 at the Jose Alvalade stadium on November 5 that he could not say much when the team lost like this. Congratulations to Sporting Lisbon. We played well in the first half, but now we score less and concede goals even though our opponents did not create many chances. However, we missed many simple things. We have to admit that we were not consistent enough. In the Champions League, we have to be more consistent, especially emotionally.
Pep added: “It’s a very difficult time for Man City right now, but as a manager I like the challenge of having a team that is better than me. We may have done well in the past, but we can lose. Even though it’s a difficult time, we will continue to fight.”
