Guardiola: Emery was fired because of poor grades, not his English

According to Guardiola, Unai Emery was sacked by Arsenal not because he could not convey his ideas to the players, but because of his poor performance.

Emery has been criticized for his poor English, but Guardiola says it can't be an excuse for his defeat on the pitch.

Guardiola said: "If he can win more games, then the communication between us will be perfect. "There are a lot of tools today to communicate with the players, through images, not just words. I don't entirely agree with that. ”

"We analyze after the results come out, we analyze them after they happen, and it's the same person."

"When you want to use your own language, sometimes it's not easy. But there are hands, body, emotions, images, your assistants, a lot of things, but the reason I don't think it's unnaeus's ability, it's without a doubt, is because he didn't win the game. ”

After Liverpool's 2-0 win over Watford on Saturday, they led Manchester City by an incredible 17 points.

"I don't have any ideas for Liverpool. I should consider Leicester City. Guardiola said: "It's still a long way to think about. To win Liverpool, we have to think about Leicester City and then decide. We've been very consistent at home and away over the last few years, but we've lost a lot of points this season. ”

"It has nothing to do with performance. If I can't play our game, I will be very, very worried. ”

Liverpool will not play in the Premier League until after Christmas, and this week Jurgen Klopp's side will travel to Qatar for the Club World Cup.

While some hope this could have a detrimental effect on liverpool players as they need to play in five events this season, Guardiola said the point differential meant they could relax.

"I don't think so." He added. "I've been in this event twice. When you play against the best teams in the world, you have an advantage over those points, especially when we have a little less than Liverpool. But you never know. ”
