MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “The chances of catching Arsenal? Right now, they’re the best team in the world. Look at the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup. They’re the best team right now. Hopefully, we can get closer, improve more and more, and that they give us a chance to catch them.” Pep Guardiola makes it clear that it will be tough to close the seven-point gap to the Gunners, although this weekend’s schedule—City hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers while Arteta’s team faces Manchester United—could help Haaland and his teammates.
Citizens are called upon to turn over after losing their last two games, the derby in the Premier League and against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. “I know why we’re struggling right now. I know, 100%, what’s happened to the team. I know. Just try to give us a little time. But fragility can’t be solved simply by the arrival of just one player, because fragility doesn’t just affect one player. It would be nice, but it’s not just that. I know the solution to avoid this fragility, and the players know it too.” And on the schedule: “I always believe that there should be four days between one game and the next, but that’s not happening. There’s travel, there’s a lot of things, nothing will change.”
