Man City’s struggles are glaring, with their Premier League campaign suffering a serious blow after three straight losses, capped by a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Their European form has been equally disappointing, as they squandered a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League, following a 4-1 defeat at Sporting CP in their previous match.
Despite these challenges, Pep Guardiola remains determined to address the issues and lead the team forward.
“I’m not running away,” Guardiola told reporters. “I want to be here. I want to rebuild the team in every way, starting now and continuing through the rest of the season, with the goal of being competitive again next season. Tell me, which team in the world is consistent for ten years? It doesn’t exist. Not in the NBA, tennis, golf, or any sport.”
“It’s tough to go through this, but what did you expect? Should everyone roll out the red carpet and make things easy? There will be no complaints, no finger-pointing, and no shirking of responsibility. I take full responsibility for this, and I must find a solution. I must prove myself. I’m working hard every day.”
Guardiola, who has led City to 18 trophies since 2016 and recently extended his contract for two more years, is aware that his past successes have helped him retain his job despite the current form. However, at a club as ambitious as City, his job security may not last forever.
While this season has brought unforeseen challenges, Guardiola remains confident in his ability to steer the team back to its dominant ways. Currently eight points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, the upcoming match at Anfield is pivotal. A loss could push them 11 points behind, a gap that might prove insurmountable in the race for the title.
