This Saturday afternoon, Manchester City became a little more mired in the crisis.
By losing (2-1) against Aston Villaduring the 17th day of the Premier League, the reigning English champion gave up his fifth place in the standings to his opponent of the day.
At the end of the meeting, Erling Haaland struggled to hide his disappointment. “We are obviously disappointed, it’s not enough. I did not submit a satisfactory copy,” lamented the Norwegian striker at the microphone of TNT Sports. Since December 7 and a draw (2-2) at Crystal Palace, the “cyborg” has no longer found the net.
Haaland says he still trusts Guardiola
Regarding his trainer,
the former Borussia Dortmund player shows his support. “The manager? He won the Premier League six times in seven years, he recalls. You must not have a short memory. He will find solutions. He has already done it every year. We still have confidence in him, we have to work even harder. »
Manchester City have only won one match in their last twelve, in all competitions (nine defeats and two draws). On Sunday, Bournemouth and Fulham could even overtake the Citizens in the standings, in the event of a victory, against Manchester United and Southampton respectively.
