Manchester City Will Rise To January Fixture Challenge – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that the club will rise to the challenges facing them during a hectic January. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, playing 2 away games during the festive period was always going to be difficult, so he hopes his players can recover quickly ahead of the coming fixtures.

Pep added that the more difficulties his players face this month, the stronger they would be.

His words, “We will see how people are recovering now.

In this period to have had two games away is so demanding — [it’s] been a tough two games at Nottingham Forest and Sunderland.

There is not much time. Rodri and Jeremy are back, but both come from long, long injures. They have to be careful. We’ll talk with the doctors, with the physios and we’ll see. We’ll miss Savinho but, yes, the more difficulties the more stronger we would be.

Well, we are there [in contention] but it’s a long way, many games. Arsenal are so strong, we know it.”

WOW.
