Pep Guardiola speaks on Manchester City's recent poor form, acknowledging their struggles with five defeats and one draw in the last six games. Despite the setbacks, Guardiola remains optimistic, urging his players to regain their identity and bounce back, while stressing that one game won't change their overall outlook.
Pep Guardiola has addressed Manchester City's recent poor form, acknowledging the team's disappointing results in the past few weeks. Speaking ahead of their Premier League match against Liverpool, Guardiola reflected on the club's struggles, saying, "We are second in the Premier League, but not in a good moment in terms of results." Despite the team's lack of wins, Guardiola emphasized that they have played decently, though not well enough to secure victories.
The team has struggled in their last six matches, losing five and drawing one, marking the worst form of Guardiola's managerial career. Guardiola admitted this run of poor results is unusual for him, as he has never experienced more than three defeats in a row during his stints at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Looking ahead, Guardiola remains hopeful, stating that the team will bounce back but couldn't specify when. He called for his players to regain the mentality and energy they had at the start of the season, emphasizing the importance of returning to their strong, winning form. Despite the current slump, Guardiola's message to the team is clear: focus on regaining their identity and resilience, rather than solely chasing immediate results.
