Guardiola: Don't think about the winning streak and just think about the next game The gunners are the best in recent years

Live bar January 1 News Manchester City will face Arsenal in the 21st round of the Premier League, and in an interview before the game, Guardiola talked about the game, he believes the Gunners are one of the best teams in the Premier League at present, and he also talked about the team's winning streak.

Guardiola said: "I don't think about the winning streak, I don't think about what will happen in the future, I think about the next game, the good team will only think about the next game, thinking about the long-term streak is a stupid thing, preparing for the best game for the next game, full of desire for victory, throwing yourself into the game is the most critical. ”

'Our team used to say' I want to do it, I want to go to that position, try to win the game' and everybody has made a huge contribution and that's why we're in this position now.

'It was something we didn't expect, we didn't think it would be a month ago, when we were 4, 5, 6 points behind Chelsea and Liverpool and now we have 54 points to fight for.

"The winning streak is bound to be stopped, sooner or later we will lose a game and then we need to calm down, relax and then keep working hard in the next game. Don't be extremely satisfied when the team is in good shape, and don't be extremely frustrated when things are not good. I learned from last season's pandemic that with so many games and events, relaxing is the best way to get closer to the next goal. ”

On Fernandinho's performance, Guardiola said: "We have an incredible captain, he didn't play much this season because Rodri did a great job, although Fernandinho didn't play a lot of games, he has been helping the team, helping me and the other staff, he doesn't think about it, what he thinks about is the needs of the team, what is best for the team, whether he plays or not he is excellent. ”

"We're going to need him to play because the team has a lot of games to play and Rodri can't play the whole season, that's not possible. That's why he played against Brentford and Leicester City and he played very well. ”

Regarding the match against Arsenal, Guardiola said: "In terms of the last 4-5 years, this year's Arsenal are the best, it's no secret that now they are in the top four, they play very energetically, Arteta has a lot of tactics, so it takes time to achieve something, which is a good example. ”

'I feel that Arteta has changed not only the team but also the club, I think he has worked hard for a lot of things, maybe it didn't go very well at the beginning, but the next step he did a good job.

"Now we're going to be facing one of the best teams in the Premier League, at their best, it's going to be a tough game, but at the same time we have good chances. After that, before the national team matchday, we had a long time to prepare for the matches against Chelsea and Southampton, and the game in London was crucial for us. ”
