After a series of three consecutive defeats, including a rout (4-1) against Sporting Portugal in the Champions League, tensions are rising at Manchester City. Bernardo Silva described the situation as a “dark time”, saying the team seemed to be going “in the wrong direction”. Words that did not please Pep Guardiola, who insisted on defending his group: “We are not in the dark… The players know they played well”he said, contradicting the alarmism of his Portuguese midfielder.
Guardiola refuses to “give up” despite the difficulties
Although Guardiola regretted the lack of control of his players, particularly on the two penalties conceded, he remains confident and motivated to take up the challenge. “I will not give up… I want to face this challenge”he said, emphasizing his commitment to his players. City currently sit second in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Liverpool, but pressure is mounting to regain stability and positive momentum.
