Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola commented on the defeat in the 10th round of the English championship against Bournemouth (1:2).
“We couldn’t match the intensity of the opposing players. We failed to cope with their long passes, which forced us to drop deeper. They increased the pace of the game, and we had nothing in response. Previously we could withstand such situations. Sometimes opponents are better, and you have to accept it,” quotes Guardiola the publication Goal.
