Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola strongly disagrees with remarks that his squad is now aging.
City meet Feyenoord in the Champions League this Tuesday evening. A match that the Sky Blues approach with a series of five consecutive defeats. Inevitably, such a succession of clashes gave rise to violent external spades.
Guardiola does not give up
Guardiola, however, continues to believe in his training:
“It depends on performance. There are players aged 30 and over who are incredibly successful. There are 23-year-old players who are less efficient. I don’t look at age. All teams have players of a certain age. »
“My own analysis is not that we are not getting results because we have players over 30. Because a few weeks ago they were the same age and we won the Premier League, reached the FA Cup final and were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. I want to defend what we did because I know these guys and I never blame a player,” he added.
So what is the reason for this decline? His response:
“There are many factors that make the difference. If I could tell what the reason was, I would fix it immediately, but it’s not that simple. »
