Tonight at 23:30, Manchester City will play against Brentford in the 7th round of the Premier League. Before the game, Guardiola talked about topics such as Haaland and Foden at the press conference. Talking about Barcelona regarding Haaland as the &...
Talking about Barcelona regarding Haaland as the "dream signing partner"
Can you tell me which team will not regard signing Haaland as a dream signing? I understand Barcelona's move very well, and other teams can understand it if they have similar ideas. If Haaland doesn't play for Manchester City, then he is also the favorite of Manchester City. As for what will happen next, I honestly can't be sure.
Haaland has a long appointment with the team. I think his performance is outstanding and he scored goals a lot, but I also feel that the team has helped him a lot and taken a lot of actions to create goals opportunities for him. If we can achieve better results on the court, we will naturally have more and more opportunities to score goals. This is the case. I have always hoped that the team would lose fewer goals and create more opportunities.
But football is sometimes like this. Although you can create as many opportunities as possible on the court and avoid losing as few goals as possible, you still cannot win or even lose. Football has its own uniqueness. Other sports such as golf, basketball, handball, tennis, etc. The more beautiful party can win the game, but football is not good. Sometimes it is not enough to create 19 shots in a game, and it has to have 25 or even 35 times, and this is what we need to work hard to do.
Whether Haaland's long-term contract means that Manchester City is what he wants, I think Haaland is not stupid enough to sign a contract that he doesn't want to fulfill, I can be sure of this. But football is like this, you will never be able to predict what will happen next, and no one can predict it.
talk about balancing the integration of new and old players and new members of the coaching staff, and the similarities with Liverpool.
is learning from these supporters behind the scenes, not from me. As for the situation in Liverpool, I don't think I'm suitable to talk about them, after all I'm not there.
Remember when I first came to Manchester City, about a year or so, we signed 10 players in the offseason, and then we won 100 league points in the following season and successfully won the Premier League championship. Is it my first season? I can't remember it clearly, either. But I seem to have said before that although the arrival of new players will have a pain period, it is great! It would be great as long as you have a direction to make yourself better, I like this.
Talk about being patient with Foden, and then making sure that his body and mind are recovered before arranging him to play
Players like Foden can talk about their situation openly and honestly. What a strong heart, right? Nowadays, many young players and even old players may not be able to do this, after all, everyone has ups and downs.
Being able to accept reality calmly, I think this is really cool! It's a dream. When I see him now, let’s not talk about the top level he showed in the competition, the joy, laughter he brought in the usual training, the voices conveyed to the locker room, and his successful return... I think that’s enough. That's exactly what we want to see, and as for other aspects, we will help him to play as best as possible, but the most important thing is the physical and mental health of the players, right? Football is nothing more than winning or losing and getting a draw, but the most important thing is to stay healthy, be with your family, and do what you want to do as you think.
I am very glad he is gradually getting back to his form now and see his game. He has participated in many, many things.
Talking about the importance of being candid with yourself and the club
I think this is very important! When Foden encounters difficulties, we will stand together with him, and the club is doing a great job in this area. We have a group of very attractive companions who are constantly helping.
I have never seen anyone who can survive difficult times so strongly. Life is like this, with big ups and downs, but sometimes the ups and downs will always usher in a new chapter. It is great to have such an idea. We have always made the lost people feel our unconditional support. I don’t care how they perform, but I should also care about their psychological conditions. Life looks tens of millions, but people are always the most important thing. We will try our best to take care of everyone, and we are glad we can do this.
Everyone knows that Foden's level this season is different from last season. It is inevitable that he will perform poorly in a certain game, but more importantly, he must maintain a good psychological state.
