After winning the latest trophy in his collection at the Etihad, Guardiola is talking about his next chapter at City. “I mean, I’ve won all the titles, there’s nothing left to win, I felt the job was done, I felt it was over.
8 years have passed. As I close this chapter eight years later, it’s a great job behind the scenes and I feel like I’ve won every title you can win. “We have won many titles in the Premier League, the Carabao Cup, we have won many trophies repeatedly. What we have achieved is amazing. Today we celebrate on the plane and tomorrow we rest.”When Guardiola started to speak, you would have thought he was giving a farewell speech. It seems he wants to create something new again at the Etihad. Jurgen Klopp may have been an inspiration in this regard. The German has begun his next chapter at Liverpool and, after rebuilding his midfield in the summer, it looks like it could be too soon. How Guardiola’s version of City compares to Liverpool’s revamped version may depend on how the remaining games of the season play out. Guardiola’s side cannot be ruled out of the title race, even if they are showing signs of vulnerability not seen for years.
Some big names like Liverpool could move on soon. Bernardo Silva has been linked with Barcelona for some time (Mundo Deportivo reported as recently as September that the Portuguese player’s contract contained a Barcelona clause), while Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne are both on the wrong side of the deal. Thirty years. The latter can also be caused by injury problems.
Even without playing, it was a very good weekend for Manchester City in the Premier League. Liverpool and Arsenal were inseparable at Anfield. That means Pep Guardiola’s side are not as far from the top flight as they thought. City, who again dropped a point to Crystal Palace, could face the prospect of being 12 points behind Liverpool on their return to the competition. The newly crowned world champions prepare to face Everton, with both games five points behind the Reds and six behind Arsenal.
