Guardiola: There are still 6-7 teams competing for the Champions League seat, and I don t want to compete for the league runner-up for the time being

May 9th at 22:00 pm on May 10th, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will play against Southampton away. Before the game, Manchester City coach Guardiola attended the press conference and talked about the game.

Talking about this game against Southampton -

No matter what kind of opponent you meet, each game starts 0-0. I admire Southampton very much. This is a very critical game for us. The team only has these three rounds of league left this season.

Talking about Manchester City's recent status -

This should be the best result we have achieved in the past half season. We have maintained good results for a while at the beginning of the season, but I don't know if we have done better.

Talking about Kovaci's performance -

He played very well, and I think he played very close to some other players, such as B Seo, Nico Gonzalez, and Gundogan.

Haland is expected to play -

Haland is already in good health and is expected to start tomorrow's game.

The situation of other players -

Rodri still cannot play tomorrow's game. Acker and Oscar Bob have already conducted some training, but are still unable to participate in the game.

Haland said "The team lacks hunger"?

If Haaland feels like this, they should communicate with each other, and the players have discussed with each other the reasons for this.

We can do better, and we are happy about the achievements we have achieved now, but our current performance has lasted for several months, not just three or four weeks.

Talking about Xavi Alonso's departure from Leverkusen -

His influence on Leverkusen is incredible. I think when he was a player, he was already optimistic about becoming an excellent coach.

You know how difficult it is to come to the Bundesliga to compete with Bayern. They achieved an unbeaten record last season and finally won the Bundesliga championship. The way they played and the way they made the players improve. I think Leverkusen will be proud of his partnership over the past two or three years.

Talking about the team's expected to compete for the second place in the league -

(Reporter: If Manchester City finishes the league runner-up and the FA Cup championship, is it a good season performance?) I regret to tell you that I didn't think about these things. I only have this game tomorrow in my mind now. We have been thinking about it for a whole week. We only care about this. We will think about the others until the end of the season. Now we will do what we should do.

I think there are still 6-7 teams competing for the Champions League, so we must get enough points. As long as we win three consecutive league wins next, we will ensure a seat in the Champions League. We are also striving to do it. The initiative is in our hands and we need to win one game at a time.

De Bruyne's next home?

I don't know where De Bruyne will go next, but I hope he and his family will get the best results for them.

Talking about O'Reilly's performance -

He has many opportunities to play, and he played very well in some games, but sometimes he did not play. We will send the most suitable players to the court, and there is no difference between rewards and punishments. After the game, we will also analyze the reasons and strive to do better. Of course a lot has passed, you can learn something from past games and try it out in the next game, which has a positive impact on the young players.
