It has to be better! Pep compares the remaining 9 games to the final to compete for a Champions League spot superheng1688

superheng1688 Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described the remaining Premier League games this season as a final to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

The Citizens’ form continues to stumble after only drawing 2-2 at home with Brighton & Hove Albion last night, leaving them with 48 points, missing out on overtaking Chelsea and returning to fourth place, and only one point behind Newcastle and Brighton. superheng1688

“There are nine games left and it’s nine finals, so that’s how it is. I think it will work out in the end. I’m still confident.

“At times I was a little bit worried, but I tried to find the right way. You can feel the pressure on the pitch, we have to play better and the fans want to win so much, everyone can feel it.

“We played better than the game against Nottingham Forest. We had spirit, we wanted to win. At Forest we were too slow. Brighton played well and in the last 10-15 minutes they scored. We were unsettled, but we got the point and now we have to think about the next game.”

For their next game, Man City will play in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Bournemouth on March 30 after the international break. ( superheng1688 )
