Guardiola insists that Manchester City has a “brilliant future” despite the defeats of Real Madrid and Liverpool

Pep Guardiola insists that Manchester City still has a “brilliant future” despite another disappointing defeat against Liverpool.

Premier League champions of the last four seasons, City is now 20 points behind Sunday’s opponents in Etihad, who now wants to steal his crown after a 2-0 victory.

A Misera week for Guardiola’s men also saw them collide outside the Champions League at Real Madrid in the middle of the week, with their star players in the years that failed to reach the high standards they have established in recent years.

And, while the Catalan chief, who will remain in the city for at least one more season, suggested that a reconstruction will be required for this team, he is confident that the club will be well located to return to the possibility of returning to the standards of Liverpool in The future.

Guardiola said to Sky Sports, “If you lose, you have to lose the way to lose today. I saw many things that this club has a bright future with the players we have.

“Except Kevin de Bruyne and maybe Nathan Ake, all players are so young. The club decides below for the future, there is a brilliant future for this club in the coming years.

“Everyone knows that part will be here next season for older players, but we have to create for the next step. There is a matter of time.

“Even with the amount of absences we have, we played well. They break the lines and can be broken behind.

“They really threaten, but we bring them there and all we missed is that in the final third, it depends on the talent for haggling or shooting at the right time. From there, we build for the future.

“We are far away. We will see in the future. What we have done in previous seasons is good, but now we are far from them. We played with personality, which was really good. “

Guardiola: We played very well

The performance of Sunday afternoon was far from its worst this season, but it never seemed likely to have problems at Arne Slot, who set itself in control as soon as Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the advantage of the advantage 37 minutes after Momahed Salah opened the opening of Salah.

Guardiola was satisfied with the performance, but said that he did not have the additional level needed to overcome a team of Liverpool caliber.

He added: “We played very well. We may have lost more productivity in the shots, but we played against a great team. Maybe at first it was 50-50 and we couldn’t turn.

“The second half defended very deeply. We have done something we have not tried for many games, which we took to their box and tried to overcome them there.

“The tactic had to reach the final third and the Byline and it happened a lot, but we did not mark. We have missed a bit the next and with the crosses it is almost impossible to do the next step. “
