Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, opened up after his team stumbled to a draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the latest Premier League fixture.
Pep Guardiola, manager of the "Sky Blues" Manchester City, confirmed that his team still has a chance to win the English Premier League this season, despite only managing a 2-2 away draw against the "Spurs" Tottenham Hotspur last night.
In the match, Man City initially took a 2-0 lead through Riyad Mahrez and Antoine Semenyo, but ultimately Marc Guehi scored an own goal, combined with a difficult strike from Dominic Solanke, allowing Spurs to equalize 2-2. This result leaves Man City six points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Pep said, "As long as there is a chance, hope will always remain. I have seen incredible spirit in many aspects of the team."
When asked whether he would give up on the league to focus on cup competitions instead, Pep responded, "With 14 games still to play?!"
Additionally, Pep expressed dissatisfaction with the moment Spurs scored their first goal, which became the turning point that cost his team the victory.
"What can I say? Guehi reached the ball first, but he was fouled from behind by Solanke, and it resulted in a goal. Hmm, if that had happened to a striker, it would have been a penalty. But I'm not the referee."
"That will be a lesson for us, and it will make us stronger and better, especially for many players in the future."
