Guardiola: Be patient against Leeds Sterling scoring a hundred goals is a great achievement

Live bar December 13, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was elected the premier league's best manager for November, and in the 16th round of the Premier League, Guardiola led Manchester City 1-0 Wolves to continue to be at the top of the league table. Speaking about last week's win and the upcoming match against Leeds United, Guardiola said the team needed to be patient enough.

City have both lost points at home against Crystal Palace and Southampton this season, and for their next opponent, Leeds United, Guardiola believes the team still needs to be patient and prevent mistakes:

"In this type of game, when the opponent is focused on the defense, you can't make mistakes. We made mistakes against Crystal Palace and Southampton and we didn't perform very well and that's why it happened. Against Crystal Palace we made too many mistakes and the opponents have been waiting for such an opportunity. ”

"When that happens, teams like Leeds become completely different. We lost five points on them last season and didn't win the title until two or three games before the end of the league. ”

"When these teams are holding steady and waiting for an opportunity, we have to be patient enough not to make mistakes, and today (Saturday against Wolves) we didn't do well. We played well against the 11-man squad, the opponent had a hard time running and didn't even finish a shot that hit the target. But in the end our oppression did not do well, and the game was not over. The end result was 1-0, but we created enough opportunities. ”

"There are times in the season when there are games like this and now we will continue to play at home on Tuesday, against Leeds United. The opponent will definitely enjoy the game and it will be a wonderful contest. ”

Against Wolves, Sterling scored the winning penalty and also reached his personal Premier League milestone of 100 goals. Guardiola was asked if Sterling's contribution to Manchester City was worthy of having the club erect a statue for him, as it did for Silva and Aguero. Gua Shuai replied with a smile:

"It's not something I can decide, I don't know. It's about what they (David Silva, Aguero) have contributed to the club. Every decision he's going to make is perfect for me, he's played at Liverpool and Manchester City and at a young age, scoring 100 Premier League goals is a great achievement, it's an indisputable fact. ”
