“Just let me have my players” — Guardiola determined to rebound after five consecutive losses.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed confidence that his team will recover after enduring the most challenging spell of his career. The reigning champions were outplayed in their latest outing, marking their first Premier League home defeat in over two years.
Speaking ahead of City’s UEFA Champions League clash with Feyenoord, Guardiola addressed the difficulties his side is currently facing and the path forward. “Just give me my players back… you’ll see,” the City boss told Ziggo. “It’s tough when you’re missing four central defenders, two holding midfielders, and the best player in the world, Rodri. Without our three best wingers, it’s a challenge. But when we’re all together, you’ll see the real Man City.”
Despite the challenges, Guardiola emphasized the strength of the squad when fully fit, acknowledging the current adversity as something the team must overcome. Following the midweek clash against Feyenoord, City faces a crucial test at Anfield, where another defeat could significantly impact their Premier League title defense.
