Jakarta –
Manchester City indeed won 3-0 over Burnley and reach the quarterfinals Premier League Cup. But Pep Guardiola still far from satisfied.
Manchester City won 3-0 when they visited Turf Moor, Thursday (1/10/2020) in the morning WIB in the fourth round match Premier League Cup. Two goals scored Raheem Sterling in the 35th and 49th minutes, followed by Ferran Torres’ third in the 65th.
The team made by Pep Guardiola clearly dominated the match since after football began. Whoscored recorded City had 62% possession of the ball, firing 15 shots with eight on target and one chance on the post.
The hosts who were struggling to develop the game had nine attempts with only two of them leading to goal.
In this match, City were forced to still play Sterling as the spearhead following the injury to Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus. Guardiola also played two young players, Torres and Cole Palmer to support Sterling, along with Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez.
But Guardiola’s overall appearance is far from the level that City should be able to show. The absence of a number of players is admittedly hampering the progress of the team.
“It’s important that we don’t concede and the team plays well in general. We are still far from our best game, because we haven’t practiced much,” he said. Sky Sports quoted BBC.
“We lost a lot of players, six because of COVID and four to injury. But step by step, when our squad is full, we will be even better.”
“I hope we will not be too far from those in front. But we are in the quarter-finals of this competition again, so this is good,” he continued.
