According to Tasnim news agency, Pep Guardiola, the head coach of the Manchester City football team, told reporters after his team’s 4-1 loss last night (Tuesday) against Sporting Lisbon in the capital of Portugal: “It is difficult to explain this defeat.” We started the game very well, scored the first goal and presented a very good performance in the first half. In football, it is not enough to just play well, you also have to score goals.
The Catalan coach added: “When you lose 4-1, the only thing you can do is congratulate the opponent, and I congratulate Sporting and try to learn from this loss.” There is no room for discussion. They won and they did it by changing the phase of the game well from defense to attack when they lost the ball. They also scored wonderful goals. But we were stressed under pressure and we have to learn to play better in such conditions.
Guardiola sent his team without key pieces such as Rhodri, Jack Grealish, Ruben Diaz and John Stones in the first half and included the 19-year-old defender of his team, Yami Simpson. He said: “It is a difficult challenge, but that is why I am here.” We have a difficult season ahead of us and of course we knew this from the beginning of the season. However, this is the situation and I like it and I want to face it and improve the position of my players. I have to try to find a solution. Football is like this sometimes and we have to accept it. Life is like that, sport is like that.
