These players have given me the chance to live perhaps the best years of my life. All I can do is be here – he reiterated Guardiola – to try to find a solution. The club will make a decision on what is necessary to allow this club to stay there.”
Then trying to take stock of the situation and the evident difficulties of his Manchester City: “It’s another case and we can’t expect more than this. We need to understand what we’ve done. The players want it, suffer it and want to do it. It’s normal. We’re not used to this for many reasons, but many, many things they happen. The teams are strong and we can’t handle it right now”, he says worriedly.
