“We have created a few moments. The game was completely different than with Nottingham. It was another rival, but we had the same problem with goals again. Sometimes we did everything right and Ederson was at an altitude. It is very important to score goals to win matches.
Now it is really difficult, every day. But imagine that the next season everything will be completely different. Therefore, I always say that I hurry because we are suffering a lot. Everyone here suffers from these changes, and we need to show the result next year, immediately. If not, I feel that everything that is happening now we do not use to the maximum. It is important to understand.
On the good days we show a good game, we think that way. This is important – start working with players as soon as possible, improve them to start the next season with a clearer understanding of what we want. Today was the day when we played well, although you can feel that we are not at the highest level, the intensity is not as it should be, but you need to understand the context of both teams at the moment.
Each game has its own story. We sometimes need to give the command time to understand each other and then approach the game. You remember when I just came, we often missed a goal for the first ten minutes, and it changed the course of the game and a strategy because we already lost 0: 1. I think these players have proven not only this season, but also in the previous ones that when they are collected and concentrated, they can win any match.
I understand that experts are critical of everything, and I understand that we are now experiencing the worst season in the history of the club. Man City has won everything in the past and is fighting now. We are not in the best shape to give the best show to fans. We do not fight for the big titles. Of course, this is another context. It is necessary to consider the context of the game, and I understand criticism against the players who played differently at this point, because they constantly fought for different titles. This is a completely different context.
I can say that we want to be competitive in the short term, but to be really dominant against any opponent, it will take a long time. We need to use different game strategies and styles when we face different opponents. In this style of City game, perhaps the best team in the world is playing for a while.
It is important that if you compare this game with that against the arsenal, in some moments we also played like Manchester City. And we did not play against the arsenal, these were clear transitional moments. Today everything was a little different. We are improving, but playing in the style they have been playing for many years, we still need a lot of time, “-the club’s press service suggests.
