Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, opened up after leading his team to a narrow away victory over Leeds United in the latest Premier League match.
Pep Guardiola, manager of the "Sky Blues" Manchester City, praised his players for delivering a perfect performance, despite the tight 1-0 away win over Leeds United in the English Premier League last night. He declared that the final 10 matches will determine the champion.
The winning goal from Antoine Semenyo in the 45+2 minute helped Manchester City increase their tally to 59 points, closing the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just 2 points, with both teams having played 28 matches.
Pep said, "We passed the ball a lot, which was necessary for survival without focusing too much on attack. The response was excellent. The goal we scored was unbelievable. It was a perfect game on a difficult pitch, and with 10 Premier League games left, it's decision time."
"Right now, we are developing these players, and they still have a very long time here. This is important for the club's future."
"For me, Ryan Gravenberch had his best game—strong and aggressive when in possession. They all played very well, showing commitment and sticking to the plan. At this stage of the season, what matters is the attitude."
"After 9 months, everyone knows what they want, especially in matches crucial for Champions League qualification, which is very important for the club. We are the only English team to have played in the Champions League every year for the past 10-11 years."
Regarding Erling Haaland's injury, he said, "I don't know. I hope he will return."
