Guardiola: No one will be the champion in December, and we have 54 points to fight for

Live on 30 December, 2019 In the 20th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won 10 consecutive games in a 1-0 away win over Brentford.

After the game, Manchester City manager Guardiola said: "With Brentford's way of playing, we have performed at our best. The important thing is that we came up with a consistent performance, achieved the desired result and played well. When they play like this, we can't come up with a better performance. They carried out high-pressure pressing, which made it difficult for us to organize the attack. When they played the contraction defense, we had incredible difficulties because they were a team with good organizational discipline. When they decide to play this way, hoarding 11 players from 18 yards out of the box, you need to be patient enough. Since there is no space, it is difficult for you to do the incision. When a team defends in this way, you have a very big difficulty. ”

"You also see how much trouble other teams have had when they come here, and I know that. How many chances did they create with corner kicks and sideline balls? In the second half, we didn't let them have a shot that hit the target. ”

"After 23 minutes of the game, people thought we could score four goals. This is not a reality, but an exception. The reality is that it's a different type of game. In some races you need to use a certain way, while in others you need to use a different way of playing. If you're passing faster than ever, they can get Ivan Tony and other players to make quick offensive and defensive transitions, which can get you into trouble. ”

"Brentford can counter-attack and can create chances with set-pieces and sideline balls and in those areas they are the best team in the Premier League. In terms of stats, they are the best team. We went head-to-head with them and made some adjustments in the second half. ”

"We still have 54 points to fight for and I didn't expect to be able to lead by eight and nine points at the moment, but Liverpool are one less game. However, we do have 54 points to fight for. In December, no one is a champion. We're going to lose some games. In the next three games, our opponents are Arsenal, Chelsea and Southampton, which is what I need to consider now. ”

"We had a game against Arsenal in London and they are one of the best teams at the moment, the best Arsenal of the last four or five years. I can only wish a blessing to this team, but we also have to stay focused. ”

"Being the team with the most wins in the calendar year means we're doing a good job, we won the Premier League and League Cup and reached the Champions League final, which was a huge success. The number of victories we've achieved means you can't achieve that overnight, and it takes 365 days to stay in steady shape. This is the most weighty championship we can win as a team. ”
