After Manchester City’s 1-2 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League tonight, manager Pep Guardiola spoke to BBC.
Guardiola said, “Congratulations to Villa for their victory. As the game went on, we couldn’t keep up with the pace. Our performance in the second half was very poor.”
“Can Manchester City find their form? Yes, it depends on us. The team is hoping for the return of injured players and finding solutions. Right now, we only have one central defender, and it’s very difficult. We will try again next time. This is another opportunity, but we won’t focus too much beyond that.”
“Besides injuries, there are other reasons. We’ve conceded goals we shouldn’t have and missed chances we should have scored. Of course, it’s not just about football; there are also other small factors.”
“Villa is a team that has performed well in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Playing against them is always tough. I have to respond positively and believe in the players. Some of them have pride and desire, and we must find our way back.”
