Following Man City’s demise, Pep Guardiola assigns blame to Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola knows who is to blame for Manchester City’s terrible run, which extended on Sunday as they lost 2-1 to bitter rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola has only pointed the finger at himself for Manchester City’s terrible fall over the weekend.
The defending Premier League winners lost badly to Manchester United, their bitter rivals, on Sunday. Josko Gvardiol’s header had given City a perfect start. However, Bruno Fernandes, the captain of United, leveled the score with a late penalty. Amad had been fouled by Matheus Nunes’s shoddy challenge.
Moments later, the Ivorian scored the game-winning goal to give United the victory. It led to City’s eighth loss in their previous 11 games across all competitions.
After the final whistle, however, Guardiola took responsibility for City’s most recent loss and refused to place the blame on his players. “Not much to say,” he said. No excuse, they were really persistent. For the past two seasons, we have not lost eight games. We are unable to defend that. This or that player isn’t the point.
“It was our fault because we gave away goals. We’re not calm when we play. The game wasn’t very good, and the results aren’t good. I am aware of the circumstances and comprehend them, but this is the truth.
“They must understand that these circumstances do occur. You must exercise caution when in the box. It has nothing to do with Matheus [Nunes], who excelled in a position other than full-back. But that isn’t the point; we need to improve as players. Although we don’t now have it, the outcome will encourage us to give it our all. I learn best when I keep going.
“I don’t measure up. As the manager and boss, it is my responsibility to discover answers, which I haven’t done yet. That’s the truth. Our goal is to improve our performance.
Make opportunities. However, it’s not feasible right now.
Their Premier League title defense is in ruins after City’s most recent setback. With one more game played, they are already nine points behind Liverpool and in sixth place.
Additionally, City star Bernardo Silva has criticized his teammates for their performances, even though Guardiola has taken blame. “We deserved what happened,” he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. One or two games are unlucky at this level. We cannot declare this to be lucky or unlucky because it isn’t relevant to the 10 games.
