Inter Milan Defended With 11 Players – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that he was impressed by his team’s display vs Inter Milan in the UCL. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, his players played very good yesterday night in the Champions league, and failure to score was only down to Inter being very good defensively.

Pep added that it’ll always be hard to create many chances when the opponent defends with 11 players.

His words, “We played so good, I love my team. We are a fantastic team. And that team defend really well, they are masters of defending and in transition they are really strong as well. We concede one and a half chances… you can’t expect to make many chances when a team defends with 11 players so deep.”

WOW.
