The head coach of Manchester City, Josep Guardiola, commented on his team’s devastating defeat in the match of the 4th round of the group stage of the Champions League against Sporting.
— It’s hard to say much when you lose by such a score. Congratulations to Sporting on this victory. In the first half, we played wonderfully, but we didn’t score. The opponent managed to convert everything they created. We should have closed the game in the first half.
Right now, we are going through a difficult period in terms of results, but I am ready to be here, fight and not give up; I find this challenge interesting. Is there an issue due to rotation in defense? Perhaps, I don’t know. When you have so many matches, you can’t play with one lineup, — said Josep Guardiola.
