Manchester City Must Win The Club World Cup Or Go Very Far – Heskey

Emile Heskey has come out to say that Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are under pressure ahead of the Club World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the club will have to win the tournament or give everything to get as far as possible, else, their latest money splash in the transfer market will definitely be questioned.

Heskey added that Pep kept his job after a poor season in England, but he clearly cannot afford another underwhelming campaign.

His words, “Yeah, 100 percent. City have to win or give everything to get as far as possible, for the financial side, too.

They’re buying all these players. They’re getting all these players coming in, so this would actually help them as well. They’ve just got Ait-Nouri from Wolves, they’ve got Cherki coming in from Lyon, so you’ve got to really pay for all this. So I’m guessing they’ve really got to have a go.

Nothing will happen to Pep if City struggle at the Club World Cup, to be honest, even if they’ve had a rough year up until this point.

Let’s be honest. I wouldn’t say he’s bulletproof, but he’s not far off. The thing with Pep is that he’s just brought so much to Manchester City, to the club. He’s brought so much to the Premier League and to the country, too.

So the players need to give everything, but I don’t see any pressure on Pep if things go wrong in America.”

WOW.

Pep Guardiola Sala is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is currently managing Premier League club Manchester City. Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, the youngest to win the UEFA Champions League, and he also holds the records for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League. He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.

Guardiola has played for and advocated on behalf of the Catalonia football team. Between 1995 and 2005, he played seven friendly games for Catalonia.

Under Guardiola’s predecessor Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona were known for a 4–3–3 with plenty of flair with Ronaldinho being the centre point of the attack. Under Guardiola, however, the team became more disciplined with a greater focus on possession and a disciplined and aggressive pressing style.

Guardiola was born to Dolors and Valentí. He has two older sisters and a younger brother, Pere, a football agent. He is an atheist. Guardiola met his wife Cristina Serra when he was 18. They married on 29 May 2014.
