Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has rejected suggestions that Arsenal would be undeserving Premier League champions. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has no issues with Arsenal’s reliance on set-piece goals, even though he is happy that his Manchester City team are able to find different ways to score.
Pep added that the Gunners have every right to employ any tactic they think can help them win the title.
His words, “I’m pretty sure the manager is happy and the players are so happy.
And I’m pretty sure you ask all the Arsenal fans and they will say ‘don’t change one second our set pieces.’
They have the feeling when it goes to set pieces, wow, I’m going to score. I’m pretty sure all the teams will want to create that vibe.
So, enjoyable or not? Maybe, I’m not [in agreement] with the people saying ‘no, that the league is not good this season, the winner will not be good’. I don’t agree.”
WOW.
