Championship suspense over? Guardiola: If Liverpool win two games, it's an eight-point difference

After Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Chelsea, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola gave a post-match interview about the competition for the Premier League title.

About the performance of the team

Guardiola: "In order to be able to get this team to shoot just once in 180 minutes, we did a lot of work in our defense. Manchester City have beaten Chelsea twice this season, chelsea 0 shots on target in the first leg and 1 shot on target in the second leg) Chelsea have performed so well against Liverpool and Tottenham hotspur that it is really too difficult to control their game with the ball. They kept pushing the formation out, and Azpilicueta won all the confrontation. They were fantastic and I salute everything. On 1 December, we were still one point behind Chelsea, and now we are far ahead. ”

Is the Battle for the Premier League Title over?

Guardiola: "Now of course we're ahead, and if Liverpool win their missing game, it's an eight-point difference, probably not in the same situation as Chelsea. Now my job is to insulate the players from outside noise, and one example is that recently, we were going to take a 4-0 lead and win in the first 45 minutes against Leicester City, and it turned out to be 4-3 after 20 minutes. ”

'We're happy with where we are at the moment, but there's still a lot of work to be done and my job is to get that information to the players.'
