Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola was in a miraculous mood after his team's 2:1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday. This result allowed the rank champions to quickly lead the leader of the table, London's Arsenal, by up to two points ahead of the top London derby..
Niko O'Reilly brought a double to the locals at the Etihad Stadium. This success became even more important due to the recent loss of a point by Arsenal in the match against Wolverhampton. After the game, Guardiola did not capture his emotions and hopes of how the team will spend the coming weekend.
" Newcastle is an incredible team, and today's match shows what is in store for us in the next 11 rounds. “The skin battle will be a battle,” Guardiola said at the pressed water. - Now we have three days off. I said to the boys: “Why do you need to work for three days? So just drink plenty of caipirinas and daiquiras and just enjoy life.”. And then we’ll do full training and go to Leeds.. This is the right approach,” adding Pep.
The Spanish captain also faced the most important mathematical problems in the fight for the title:.
Once we start thinking: “We’re winning, and Arsenal or Aston Villa are winning,” we’ll get over the mistake and everything will be exactly right. I know how difficult it is. Just win the upcoming match and never give up. “Ten games in the Premier League are even richer, it could be a good deal,” said the mentor..
Tim took the pressure off now and moved to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's men, who have won only two of the remaining seven matches in the championship, are preparing for an important match against Tottenham. The situation for the Gunners is further complicated by the fact that the Spurs will enter the field under the leadership of the new time coach Igor Tudor, who recently replaced the fired Thomas Frank.
