Pep Guardiola reacts to Man City losing the Community Shield to Arsenal!

Simon, yes, my first words, congratulations to Arsenal for the switching trophy, uh, we were close, a good 25-3 minutes, the last 15 20, the first card, were better, they have two good chances like, uh, Stefan and defenders block very well, so I don't. We have worked much better, we played a really good second half, our energy for the new players, especially more one-on-one players like Phil Kevin, great, we are close and in the end yes, we couldn't do it and the penalty takers they were better than us, he has to go to Banas, go home to a family and he wasn't here, of course, no, no, it's not annoying, we have to get used to it.

I had the feeling that not because we are winning 1-0, it's just because I had the feeling that it didn't take much to extend eight minutes, but there is a good question for the international board and for all the people, why don't they consult the managers? they consult the players what it is The opinion that they can be there, we have to accept it, so I had to accept it and they have to do it, so this amount of games is now not going to play 90 games, now the games will be 100 minutes , that's for sure, 100 minutes.

It never happened today it was eight minutes imagine when because they extend for our goals every time you score in an entire game for three it was 30 seconds or 45 seconds for seven goals tomorrow morning at 9 am I'm here playing don't ask me my opinion , please don't ask me my opinion about how no, no, no, the behavior of the team, incredible, incredible, so in the second half, in the last minutes, many players were there, they pressed a lot and it is normal, for what is normal for us to be. a little bit but that's not how we are MBA you finish you have three months off to recover not here especially here for the bad seasons and the good seasons so it didn't happen and you have to adapt, that's why I'm surprised how well we behave, the reality is which is, we faced an extraordinary team, it happened last season, this season again, so we were close, we were a little disappointed in the fact that we were close, but it's football, it's you, you can't win.

Just to give the players minutes and I'm thinking about going to play with Barney on Friday, but tomorrow he will train with us, so we have a lot of confidence with him, we have appreciated him a lot. I know he wants to play last season. He didn't play much they told us yes agent do you know to talk to the club I wonder if you want to stay we are more than plays we want to live I don't know what is going to happen and find a solution because of course he is a top level player oh yes, I'm so disappointed that I should pay, he didn't pay me and that's not good for his team um yeah, I was for a long time, not now because of this situation, so for a long time we've been hoping to have dinner together, sometimes I do it with some players and it was nice, he is the owner, the captain, so seven years working together and the player is very important to us and I hope you can stay at the end, we have one. more contracts, not the end of the contract, so I see that someone wants him to have to talk to the club and as a case of Bernardo, then we want him to stay because they are very important for us, we finish a seasonal season with incredible stress , we have players.

We went to the national teams, you know, and maybe they weren't even three weeks old and we came back, but we trained in Manchester for a bit before we went on a Nation tour. We did very well and when we returned there we couldn't train. Since it is impossible to train there, we played decent games against Bayern Munich and after returning here they had three incredible days, they saw the steel, the boys are here, so we can't complain. I know how difficult this competition is. I know we have to do it yes I'll be able to mentally pick myself up to say, okay, we can do better, we can do better after one, everything, I don't know the feelings that we can do better, that's the goal and yeah, we'll see three in a row. that we lost three in a row, do you know why?

Because we won the Premier League. Sorry congratulations football phrase we did it so congratulations to my opponent and it's time to celebrate and yeah just get ready what can I say? Manchester City is a good team, but sometimes always. you lose competitions and games so I want to say something exceptional win the trip you know this is exceptional no we came here because of the way we played to win it so we are disappointed right now because of the fact that we went so close of one or two minutes, you know you have to win the trophy, but win or lose the situation, I know that right now it is the position of the team and you have to recover well and prepare to face them just enough to travel to Athens to play. at 10pm finishes in the grave on Friday come back and then thank you Saturday and Newcastle at home so this is my plan you know the next one will be win or lose so we would love to win today but sometimes you have to accept that you give him credit. the opponent is also gone and when we finish we always do it when the transfer window ends and we have the squad that we have the players will choose is the captain and every day we choose I support 100 but always all the time we do it when the captains stay You know, we didn't leave Fernandina it was the previous season that she left, both gundu now left the ship and after we see what happened, but of course, Kevin's figure is very important, he is part of the last two guys here .

We don't see him very often, so both teams were talking to their coaches. 10 guys because there was an injury in 60. 60 other changes, it seemed like they only happened once in a while within the game, like I mentioned, how does it feel? having our influence our influence during the game, when the game can happen, so Mina, it's not much, it's not basketball, I have free time and I did it, it was exceptional because I think Kyle and then they were there or in the first half, No. I don't know what the whole guard was, I think so, and they also come for the water and when they come to try to use something you know, adjust something that maybe you think we can do, we can do it better, so this is the point , but except that I have time, our influence is not too much in the whole game, the last one here, please guys, he is a winner, he has good mentality, minutes and pace, and that is what he needs, he is so tall, so big, and it moves.

The body is completely different from Bernardo, for example, or Phil or the other players, that's why, yes, it's a 60 to 65 minute play today and yes, and I'm pretty sure Bali will be in better condition. , no, no, no, we. I need fresh legs at that moment, but Julian was outstanding, the game he played at the fountain was exceptional and that's why I told them, if I can, I would do four or five. I'm doing four or five, you could do six. So this is the point, okay, thanks guys, thanks guys.
