Pep Guardiola Faces Tough Decisions During International Break After Manchester City’s Worst Streak in 17 Years

“I like to have an international break every two weeks, I go to rest and then my energy comes back,” Pep Guardiola said last month. So, the Manchester City manager will ‘ appreciate this break more than ever, as it comes among his worst streak of results in over 17 years.

Last Saturday’s massive loss to Brighton took them to their fourth successive defeat in all competitions, just one defeat short of their season total this time. It’s sure to lead to a lot of soul-searching from the coach, who always prides himself on having everything under control.

In recent weeks City have looked completely out of control, conceding 10 goals in defeats to Tottenham, Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Brighton. The run has left them out of the League Cup, five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, and ended a 30-game unbeaten run in the Champions League.

Guardiola has also been left with a longer injury list than his predecessor, which now includes Jérémie Doku as well as most of the defenders in his squad .

“I think everyone has to stop, I think in our heads, it will be good for all of us,” said the head of the City.

It seems that Guardiola never thought that he would spend two weeks off trying to understand what had happened to the team that always got the upper hand, so at GOAL we decided to favor a do to him and identify what problems the coach needs to solve so that City can break out of this negative. spiral
