Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hailed his players for the massive win against Newcastle on Saturday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, beating an incredible Newcastle United team was massive for his players, and he is expecting similar tough opposition in the remaining EPL matches.
Pep added that there will still be a lot of twists and turns before the end of the Premier League season.
His words, “It was massive. Newcastle are an incredible team.
That game today is what we are going to face in the next 11. Every game will be like that, a battle.
Now we have three days off. I say to them ‘what you have to do is take a lot of caipirinhas and daiquiris in these next three days, enjoy life,’ and then we make proper sessions and go to Leeds.
That is the proper way. If we say ‘we win this, then Arsenal do this or Aston Villa’ … [you get a] slap in the face and what you thought [would happen], the opposite happens.
I know how difficult it will be. Just win the next game, keep going, never give up. Ten games is a lot in the Premier League. Many things are going to happen.”
WOW.
