Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola explained how Inter's players managed to keep Erling Holland in the Champions League match of the 1st round.
- There were six players around him at once. Three behind and three in front. That's how they took him out of the game. This would have made life difficult for any player.
Acherbi, Bastoni were five meters away from him. Chalkhanoglu, Zielinski were in front of him. It is difficult. We tried to use the space, Gundogan had a few chances, but Inter was physically stronger. We needed to connect more players to Holland. I knew that Inter would defend in this way," said Josep Guardiola.
