Manchester –
Pep Guardiola suspect Manchester City will be a little slack after confirming the championship title. However, Man City was reminded to maintain standards ahead of the two finals.
The Citizens just celebrated the 2022/2023 Premier League title after beating Chelsea 1-0 at the weekend. This success further emphasized Man City’s dominance because they won five league titles in the last six seasons.
Now Man City only has two formality matches at home to Brighton on Wednesday (24/5) and Brentford (28/5) before closing the season. Afterwards, Kevin de Bruyne et al will face Manchester United in the FA Cup final (3/6) and Inter Milan in the Champions League final (10/6).
Guardiola will understand if Manchester City’s motivation waned against Brighton and Brentford. Nevertheless, Man City’s standards were prohibited until they dropped.
“They partied after the game (Chelsea). I don’t know how they feel,” he said Guardiola Of Stats Perform. “They have to be ready to run a lot anyway. The best way to prepare for a final is to be ready.”
“The players have set the standard, they have to maintain it. It’s normal for the energy to drop. Arsenal are only playing for the Premier League, we still have the FA Cup, the Champions League, we spend a lot of energy on that.”
“It’s normal that if you go down, you have to avoid it or don’t go down too much otherwise these two teams (Brighton and Brentford) can hurt us,” continued the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss.
“Playing our game, adapting our way of playing, arriving to the games against United and Inter in the best possible condition,” said Guardiola.
