Sporting Lisbon 4-1 Man City: Pep Guardiola press conference

Hi Pep, Bernardo was said to TV that Manchester City are in a dark place at the moment. Is that how you see it or is this a bigger challenge because it's something so unusual? I'm not agreeing with him. You don't agree with him more? No, we're not in the dark side. We play really bad against hormones. We play really good today, don't regret. You can concede the 3rd or 4th, you have to. It's not necessary. The penalties. I would say we cannot start the second-half scoring goal. Yeah, it can happen. They do the good action, it can happen. But 44 minutes or 47 minutes left and emotionally warned in that position is stable. I think we make a really good first half against the top, top team. We were close to score the second, the 3rd and emotion is difficult when we play the first half that we played and after 2 minutes ago we were losing 3 one. It's not easy to swallow, but there's an experience and I'm here. So it's a big challenge and we knew that will be a tough season for a start. We know we we talk about that for many reasons, but this is what it is. I like it, I love it. I wanted face it and lift my players and and and try it. So life is like this. So maybe the past, the six premiers in seven years falling a rose exception, then naturally sometimes you lose. So in the sport we play really good today, we play really good. Bournemouth, they deserve it. And yeah, continue. Any more questions in English before we go to Portuguese? Yeah, Jamie, probably. Hi, Pep, when you say you were not emotionally stable, do you just mean in that moment, in these actions, in these actions, we don't have to touch the opening in the ATR box. We talked many times in that action, but of course we are stable. Listen, we lost for one, congratulations. There are no defense today. So we lost. They deserve it, what can I say? But I know how the way we behave today, how good we were and and the young central defended exceptional game he played and yeah, so nothing else. So when you lose for one, we cannot say nothing. So but the team I like it. We were close to mid 02/03. The stadium was calm, but in one actions yet we lose simple things with the quality players that normally don't happen. And when you have the ball and you lose the ball away, being a lot of players in front, there was a transition. But we create more, we play better. But after, you know, doing what they have done 31 sometimes it's difficult for the players. I understand it. So given all that, you're looking forward to Brighton and seeing your play your your team play well there, hopefully. What should we do otherwise? No. So you're coming back to Manchester to prepare the game Brighton? Yeah, absolutely. Why not give up? Maybe we'll people waiting, but I'm not give up. No, no, no, that's for sure. Obviously, obviously Bernardo feels down and I guess some of the players do as well. But you're obviously convinced that it was a good performance. How how do you convince them over the next few days to to lift the head up and they know to keep going? I know his result for one is impossible to say for the for the wall. It was a good performance. We lost for one so finish. But they know they play good in certain moments. They play good in world what we were, but we are not what I would say that we have to do a lot to score the goals and and we were three one of course in the first half like Savinia lose the ball and good careers have the chance one against one. A part of that they didn't do anything apart after the goal. So and doing this again, that team, this exceptional team talk highly about me. But this is my feeling. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Is that sorry? Is that a problem? You say you have to do a lot to score a goal, but maybe the other teams don't have to do. Yeah, it happened in my first season to my first years. Especially that we play really good and they do it, but sometimes it happen. Try to find explanation. Yeah, I have to try to find it. But sometimes it's it's just football, you know, and men accept it. They're just OK. Life is that the sport is that sometimes good about moments, OK, we face them or the reality or we said, oh, we start to complain and start to find excuses. Everyone has to intend to be better. The better the better and we will find it. Still, we are alive in our competitions and and yeah, we continue. Hi, Pep, You've been very complimentary of Ruben Namarin before, but did you expect his team to come at you like they did tonight? Like even at, you know, three went up, they were attacking in such numbers. Did you expect, could you expect transition? Yeah, we're really, really strong and did you did you expect them to keep them in and coming and coming even they were three one down. They continue What? Even when they were three one up, they kept attacking in numbers. They didn't sit back and sit on the lead. No, they sit back. They sit back, but they run a lot in transitions. Yeah. So they they sit back, but they run in transitions. When we lose the ball in that positions and contest with goal curious and Trinkao and the other place the physicality, they can do it. Yeah, they emotionally were we're fine and when this happened, you know, with three O 1, it happened. Of course you can. I've been in that position many times and I know that your mood is good. Football is an emotional feeling, you know, and and handle that. We play really good after that, after feet against normal, how good we react. And after that, Oh God, we're playing good work. Three O 1 down. You know, it's not easy. And for them it's wow, it's fantastic. And the emotions are there. So after we can analyze the reason why is are doing that, but I think we're making incredible build up. I think they were there and all the actions were mainly a transition. But yeah, no, all the teams it's normally happen. Pep, are you you've seen in your time a lot of young managers come and go and rise and fall. Amarim has got a big reputation. Are you looking forward to is that part of what you enjoy about the job? Are you looking forward to the challenge of what he will bring when he arrives in English football? Yeah, we'll be managers from United and we're going to face them two times in the Premier League and I don't know, in FA Cup, in Champions League, cannot be possible. And then we see, yeah, I learned from all the managers I face and Ruben I think as well. So yeah. But you have to understand it. My concern is focus, not in the challenge by playing United, you know, see what can you do to, you know, back in our best. That's what we'll try to do. Take a couple questions and watch this, please.
