Man City and coach Pep Guardiola have just experienced their worst series of matches in recent years, winning only 1 of the last 10 matches, conceding 23 goals on all fronts.
Coach Pep Guardiola pondered the current situation of Man City
In the English Premier League, “Green Man” is ranked 4th with 27 points, 8 points behind top team Liverpool, while also having played 1 more match. In the Champions League, where they are considered a championship candidate, they are currently ranked 22nd with 8 points after 6 matches. In the near future, the home team at Etihad Stadium must compete with PSG on January 23, 2025 to compete for the play-off round position.
“I don’t sleep well and don’t digest food well. I always have to eat light meals. I only eat soup in the evening. But I’m still the same coach as I was 5 months ago. The one who won the championship title (Premier League for the first time). 4th in a row), and I don’t struggle with my mental state. If my mental state is bad, it will be bad. But I know, it will pass I’m so happy. I know it will pass soon.” Coach Pep Guardiola expressed this when talking to former player Luca Toni on television, after Man City lost 0-2 to Juventus in Turin (Italy), December 12.
“I really believe that this will be a year with many difficulties. We have to find continuity. But if we overcome it, it will not be easy for someone to confront us,” coach Pep Guardiola said. Showing confidence will reverse the current difficult situation.
However, if the worst situation occurs, coach Pep Guardiola emphasized: “Will Man City fire me or not? If they fire me, then I will go home. What can you do in life? Life? Life doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to.”
Coach Pep Guardiola just signed a contract extension with Man City not long ago, with a new term until June 2027. This event is expected to create a boost to help Man City play well again. But unexpectedly, things got worse.
Like coach Pep Guardiola, MU coach Ruben Amorim is also not very happy at the present time
In the upcoming match, Man City takes on city rival MU in the Manchester derby at 11:30 p.m. on December 15, in the 16th round of the English Premier League.
MU under new coach Ruben Amorim has not really prospered. The “Red Devils” just won against Viktoria Plzen with a narrow score of 2-1 in the 6th round of the Europa League and rose to 7th place to have a direct entry to the round of 16, before 2 more rounds will end the group stage.
However, in the English Premier League, MU, after winning 4-0 against Everton, received 2 consecutive losses against Arsenal with a score of 0-2 and Nottingham Forest with a score of 2-3 during the reign of coach Ruben Amorim. Therefore, MU has not made any significant improvements, still ranked 13th with 19 points after 15 matches.
The Manchester derby between Man City and MU this weekend will be extremely hot. In particular, the results can directly affect the shaky position of coach Pep Guardiola, and coach Ruben Amorim will also be under great pressure if the home team still cannot improve its current position in the Premier League.
