“Most teams are capable of losing four games in a row in different competitions, but only one team has won four Premier League titles in a row.” Music and words by Pep Guardiolamanager of Manchester City, who spoke at a press conference today, the day after the announcement of his contract renewal: “Now is not the time to leave, unless they no longer want me – he said speaking of the contract renewal – They showed me many times that they wanted me here and I felt that I had to stay. Is it simple? It’s always been like this with Ange.
Guardiola renewed his contract even with the risk that Manchester City will be sanctioned for the 115 charges against him for financial irregularities: “I said it six months ago. In all my interviews I have said the same thing. It’s not about saying now “how good is Pep” because I extended my contract. I said it six months ago, a year ago and when all the clubs accused us of having done something wrong. What will happen if they make us relegated? That I’ll be here. I don’t know which division they’ll send us to, but next year we’ll go up, up, up and back to the Premier League. I knew it before and it’s like this now.”
