Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champion, was back yesterday. For their return, the Cityzens played a shock opening match at Stamford Bridge against Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea. And it was with a score of 0-2 that they won, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic. After the great collective performance, Pep Guardiola shared his pride. « I’m very impressed, but not surprised. That’s what I expect from this level and this commitment. It’s a privilege and an honour to be the manager of this club and these players. It’s a privilege and an honour to be the coach of this club and these players, to do this after such a great win and a lack of preparation. The good news is that we won; the bad news is that we have 70 games left. We will prepare Ipswich and West Ham before the international break and then we will have the squad for the season. »
The Spanish coach is clear, he wants his players to defend their title once again. If you’re the best team in England for 38 games, you’re going to defend your crown. We have to behave like we did, like a championship team. We have to behave like we did, like a championship team, especially in bad times. I said we should suffer, that’s what defines the best teams. In bad times, we stayed calm and we did it. »
