After six races without victories the Manchester City Of Pep Guardiola is preparing to face the big Premier League match at home on Sunday Liverpool. A challenge, that of Anfield, on which the Catalan coach himself expressed himself in the usual press conference the day before.
“We have to accept the situation we are experiencing – explains the ex of Bayern Munich And Barcelona -. We must move forward in good times and bad. We are in December, we still have many, many months ahead and many goals to compete for. We have to learn, learn, learn. Succeeding is the number of times you get up when you fall. There is no other way. In our situation it is unrealistic to think about big goals. We will go back to being ourselves. I know. But I don’t know when.
Even before last December it was not realistic to win the title, but we recovered. Liverpool are in good form and are strong in all departments, especially in the two areas. In the situation we are in, with so many games in a row, it doesn’t matter what happens on Sunday. A positive result wouldn’t change anything. The mood would be better, but then three days later we play against Nottingham Forest and we have to prove to ourselves that we can confirm ourselves. You are solid and stable when you win 10, 11 or 12 games in a row like we did. Winning just one match won’t change the team’s momentum.”
