'We have to take the opportunity to do it AT HOME!' | Pep Guardiola | Man City v Chelsea

Foreigner, you

have

been going down since Wednesday night, but go down, calm down, calm down, or he has known how to stop, of course we are, we are satisfied to be able to please the Champions League final, but it is non-stop, so Now it comes there, you know. The most difficult thing in the end, you know, all the tennis players say that serving to win Wimbledon in Dallas is the most difficult, so yes, on Sunday we

have

the game now to win the most important competition, so first. The league is the most important because there are 10 11 every week and every week and every week and then we are lucky to have the

opportunity

to finish at

home

with our people and we have to

take

advantage of it sometimes when you have a big night like Wednesday.

It can be difficult to start over and move on, but the

opportunity

to win this game to win the Premier League I guess that makes it easy for you. I have good memories and the memories I remember when we played against United. we won the Premier League 2-0 at half time and we will lose the game and not far away against Aston Villa we are 20 minutes away from losing the Premier League at

home

so the last one is the hardest to do. because there are a lot of movements and a lot of things and then you have to control it and concentrate, we cannot be distracted at this moment at all, we will not forgive ourselves and we will be distracted into something like that is not what you have to do.

I do it because we focus on every game we have until the end of the season to try to finish well. Thank you, the way your team played on Wednesday in a really very important game when the pressure was on, that must give you a lot. We are confident that your team can deliver in these big moments. We have made any decision many times, but we cannot deny it in the semi-finals of the Chamber League and especially with the best team in this competition in recent years because they have reached 11 semi-finals. in 13 years and win five Champions Leagues, I don't know how many years, the last seven, eight, I don't know exactly, so to do it again, then of course give us a lot of trust and credit, but at the same time, I've done it , so my dad, Arsenal, we finished against Liverpool, against United, against the big teams here in England, at home.

By decision, we feel that we are strong, we feel confident with our people and that is why yes, we did it again. The league is the most important, as far as I can see in the history of English football, there would be five, there are only three managers who have won more than five, how does it make you feel as an individual and what you have achieved in this country? as a manager I was a swordsman as a manager especially I am Phil part of something we are not so confused I never thought I never thought I will never think about that it belongs to me I am part of That I don't know, but without the incredible work and decision making for a sports director For the board of directors, of course, location is most important.

I'm part of that and I'm very proud, of course. I have been here close to winning the Premier League again, it is in our hands more than ever after last weekend, so I am very happy, very happy, but I am part of that not to lose. I'm not the only person who lost the semi-finals or the final of the Champions League. I don't feel the only one responsible for that, nor do I even feel responsible for the only one who wins the Premier League or reaches the final of the Champions League and so on. Well, on Wednesday or the second part there were two.

In the first moments, you and you asked Kevin, I think he passed the ball more and then you blew kisses at Chuck because I think he passed the ball more. Voting was that the type of game that you feel like you have to be more a part of. of that and that was the moment to play the reaction relationship with Kevin. I love it, we shout at each other and I love it. I like this step from Kevin. I like him, so sometimes in some games he's a little flat and I like this. energy because you know the first time you don't see it, but how many times he shot me in training camp and this is what we need from him because after that he became the best, it's just a part of the moment.

It was 2-0 up and in the first minute Action Gun's first ball and Kevin lost two or three in a row when we didn't need this type of game that was against Madrid and up and down and up and down in the first half we didn't make a action like that you know we're supposed to have time it had to be amazing to control the game so we have to play more than ever we have to drop them and spin them drop them and spin them and we didn't, but they played and Kevin at the same time, at the same time, I said to stay calm and after doing incredible asses, that will score goal how many times it happened Millions, so in the end they played and Jack did the opposite.

At one point you can run and make it with the team you know, join in and make extra passes because in that I know we can, we can do it, but it's football, this happened, it's not absolutely personal and they're not that kind of thing at all. things. They must be a competitive team, be a good team and this season we talked about the Premier League being the most difficult season because it has been at its strongest. Does that mean that if you win the title it will mean more than the others? We cannot deny that the Premier League against Liverpool was easier, the feeling is not at all that I think we topsies invited one or two more teams to sit at the table so that Liverpool Newcastle can be there, there is already one game left, two They qualify for the Champions League.

League next season yesterday I watched the game against Brighton because we will be the next opening, it is with the energy and enthusiasm with which they played, wow, and there are more people, but in the Premier League I cannot say that this was more difficult or more or easier than the others, always so difficult, the way City have come back from being eight points behind Arsenal, they haven't lost since Forest left, when you sign players, skills obviously one of the key things , how important their mentality is, you often talk about how strong. The mentality is that of this group that was shown many times but now we talk about mentalities because we won and I don't believe in that I defend the team when we lose and they had the same mentality they had the same mentality that we have here less less last week on this this is the reality to recover points uh uh Arsenal or first we had one less game at that time so it was a bit false but we knew we had to win almost every game and they had to drop it is what happened for this Arsenal kept the pace of the first leg, the first leg, even doing what you've done, we can't look at them, but they lost some points and we were there and again another season and that.

It means a lot to us, uh, Seven Seasons now here was tactically more and more challenging, especially considering that akanjing left left back stones in the middle and put other players who play different roles and among the people who are really interested in tactics, really They discussed the WM, if you're the type of person who studies Tactical Systems, ancient Tactical Systems, then how did it go from a tactical perspective? How has it been for you to invent these things? How is the proccess? Sometimes the evolution of the team depends on it. the opening, the problems they create for you, so you can't play all this all the time for six and seven years in the same way for two reasons, first because you have different players and when we play false nine or we play with just Highland, our way To defend an attack is completely different and when the opponents defend in the same way because they know you, they discover some secrets of the quality that the players have and you have to do it when you know they do it, a contrast system. they have to create another offensively defensive one, so now Liverpool are playing with Alexander, they play inside all the time outside and the house plays inside, they found that the opponents found the solution, maybe in the way they attack and now they are solving many problems, Alexander. inside, but maybe in the future the opponent will find a problem, a solution to defend Alexander, I know with Fabini inside and the Europeans will find another solution to do it, and contamination depends on the problems, yes I would love to say a system to the same.

The players for seven years in the same way at the opening did not notice and we are always in perfect shape and in perfect condition, that happens because even with the same players we drop them, if we are not the same players, then this is not because it's something new because you have to realize because the opponents do it to you, oh Pat, just looking back, in January and February, you lost against Southampton in the carabao cup and you also lost points in the league and you weren't playing as consistently as you are now . Then you continued that long undefeated streak, what do you think changed?

What caused that change in the way your team plays? Because they look like a completely different team than when they were there, so my point of view when you are. In one season you cannot be in a season like the level we are playing today, it is impossible in the Premier League, in the end it is a matter of no, don't be far from the top of the league where you are not, don't give in. never ever and wait and get to the inspection knockout stages, especially in the Champions League in Europe and the competitions at the end in a good, good time, I didn't think it would change much, I think so, I think the way we are playing, so the character of Santa was the lowest game we have played in seven years, but sometimes it happens that there is more concentration or whatever, but it is normal, so it happened, so in the end we tried to be seven eight as stable as possible.

I think we did it again, otherwise, I can't have 85 points right now and with nine points still to play you know you have to be close to 90 points again in a season, so not being consistent with that is impossible, so in the end we did very, very well. I've given what Paul was talking about and then after Christmas, did you ever imagine you could have the chance to win this title with two games to spare, after seeing National the first one? No, we always asked ourselves, he said that I hope we can get there against Arsenal.

Being at home there and beating them and staying on top of the lake or near it, that's what happened and after what happened later, they won, they won, they went to Brighton, but the gap of course fell a little bit , but this is where 11 or 12 Premier League games, I don't know how to win, that helps us to be there in a different way and we say Paul at the end. Many times I said that people felt that there were two months left and three months if we don't win, we can't. fighting for the Premier League and that gives us the best of us and given the consistency you've had in the Premier League over the last few years, do you think you get the credit you deserve from the outside world? that people know how difficult it is, we at least know it and I think our opponents, the coaches, the players know it when you win abroad, don't get me wrong, but of course they know it.

Robin marks me for the embargo. You are on the edge. from winning three chips in a row and five in six years when you were talking about coming here, did you ever doubt your ability to be successful in this league? Was there ever a point where you thought maybe my style wouldn't work? here maybe my team will not be successful here I never love myself much but I never thought that once you said no, once we started talking about David Silver and you said that even though David Silver had been a great player in Spain when you saw in time for City you thought I'm not sure if that would work in England you would never have those same doubts about yourself yes no I said it again I love myself a lot but I think we are going to do a good job but the expectations are So.

I arrived with no expectations and myself so I do what you want, but no, no, I couldn't imagine myself with the players and all the people here doing what we have done in the Premier League. I knew it, I realized it immediately after five, six and seven Premier League games first. During the season I said how difficult it is that everyone is afraid to learn quickly, learn quickly what the Premier League and the players and teams are like, and after each day it was like coming a little better, trying to get here every day. I try to sit mentally, you have to do it.

Make the team a little better than what we did yesterday and with this mentality the players feel that it can always be achieved, but it is the same, so you never think when the season starts, every season, how it is going to be like this. In the end, I don't know, I have no prospects for that, so now we know that we are also three games away from winning all the titles and how we prepare, how we go as best as possible to the games and start in every game we win. We will help for the next one, everything will win, so I am sure that winning the Premier League as quickly as possible will help us prepare the next matches of the Premier League final in better conditions, so I want to see the team. is still focused, so there are other great accolades coming in this world, they have happened that way, the biggest companies, when everything is perfect and they win, and a big disaster, a big disaster, a big disaster when everything is on, so it's always there in a I mean, it'snice, okay, it's perfect. but we cannot forget the reality and the reality is uh what happened against United years ago what happened against Umbila and Chassis did not do that I think the season that they could imagine I understand that everything is agreed I think they are agreed but it is the Chelsea Chelsea, the players are there.

Don't know. I won't be confused. Look at the table, but we know we will act the way we did. We have to act like everyone else the last few weeks. We will be there. We will be close. We have to

take

advantage of the opportunity to do it at home so it is not the same to be able to celebrate something unique because what these guys are doing is unique or what we are doing at home, the other way around for the excitement of football at this moment and when we can do it at home we have to take it we have to do it if um if Nottingham Forest will be Arsenal tomorrow you will be Champion without playing you will be looking to see if you have gathered the players or something like that or I don't think so maybe not I don't think so, no, maybe let's have breakfast, I don't think, the day after, so Chelsea deserves it now.

My mind and I would like. I would like to feel that you have to win to be champion. This is what needs to be done. I have to think right now about that moment so that we can't control Nottingham, so now my thing is that no matter what happened in the game in Nottingham, we have to do our job. We know again that you have a bottle of champagne in the fridge just in case tomorrow night no, I don't have it, I don't have it, not because after three days we have a Brighton and Brighton can do a big deal to you if you're not who you are , so we have time. at the end of the season celebrate or be whatever you have to do then we have many games in a row and so tomorrow we can win we can celebrate in the stadium with our people that would be the best celebration to celebrate the team we will have time just in case in case we do it in abroad
