Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to react to the loss vs Leeds United. He recently revealed that he is always hailed as a genius when rotation works, but when it doesn’t, he gets criticized.
According to him, he doesn’t regret tinkering with his team for the game.at all, because he trusts all his players.
He added that all his players gave a good performance vs Leeds, and his boys will definitely learn from the mistakes made.
His words, “When you lose [the selection is a mistake], when we win, I am a genius.”
“I do not regret [the choices] because I trust them. If I didn’t trust them, they would not play.”
“Everyone was good. It was a game of transitions. We had to avoid it, they did it.”
“At 10 v 11, we need inspiration and we can’t let them run [from deep]. We did it for a long time but then Raphinha had a chance and Eddie [Ederson] saved – and then they scored.”
“When you attack and attack and attack, you have to control and not let them run.”
“Congratulations to Leeds, first of all.”
“We did not create enough for the forwards. It is part of the game.”
“In the last 10 minutes they had other chances, they are fast and can do it. When they defend in the way they were doing you have to stop them running and we did not do that.”
“We are going to rest and prepare two days for the game in Dortmund and decide on how we are going to play.”
