Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, explained why his team fell to Brentford on Saturday in the Premier League “Premier League.”
At the start of the 16th round of the competition, Manchester City fell to Brentford 1-2 at the Al-Ittihad stadium.
Manchester City received the second loss this season, to freeze its score at 32 points in second place, two points behind Arsenal, the lead, who can expand the difference when Wolverhampton meets later in the day.
The BBC quoted Guardiola as saying, “The best team won, Manchester City has suffered since the beginning of the game, and the players have not been able to deal with the longitudinal balls of Burnford.”
The implementation of the coach’s play plan, as well as the opponent’s strong defence and defensive depth, made the Brentford match particularly challenging, he continued.
“We will return and prepare for the second half of the season,” the Spanish coach said in his closing statement. “We performed an exceptional performance in the Champions League, and good in the English Premier League.
Due to Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup from November 20 to December 18, the English Premier League competition will end until late in December.
