Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to insist that the club’s success is not boring. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it has been a very difficult journey to success for Manchester City thus far, and Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea would have won as many EPL titles if it was just down to money.
Pep added that rival clubs have spent as much money in the last five years as City, yet they are not as successful.
His words, “It’s not boring. It’s difficult. Before it was the money. For that reason, Manchester United should have won all the titles, Chelsea – all the titles, Arsenal – all the titles. They spend as much money in the last five years as us. They should be there. They are not there. For that reason, Girona shouldn’t be in the Champions League [next season] and Leicester should win the Premier League.”
On still contending despite departures, “In the beginning of the season we didn’t think about it. But then we were in February, March and April, we were still there. After that it ignites something in all our heads.
No team has done it. That shows how hard it is. Liverpool in the ’80s, Sir Alex Ferguson’s United in the ’90s. Chelsea with [Roman] Abramovich and Jose [Mourinho], Arsenal with [Arsene] Wenger didn’t do it.”
WOW.
