The former head coach of Kyiv’s “Dynamo”, Mircea Lucescu, who is now coaching the Romanian national team, spoke about the failures of English “Manchester City”. Recall that Josep Guardiola’s team has suffered five consecutive defeats in the last six matches and then played a draw.
“Poor Guardiola. Do you see what defeat can mean sometimes? When you are used to success, it’s terrible to lose so many matches in a row.
I think that Guardiola’s self-flagellation tells us that he does not understand what is happening. He is exhausted. Moreover, what is happening is a sign that Guardiola feels powerless, not knowing how to fix the situation.
But I think that this period in the life of “Manchester City” is more related to psychology. The players no longer have that confidence in their abilities, in themselves.
Guardiola needs to restore the team’s mental equilibrium. But the pressure is very high, as Guardiola is obsessed with trophies, and that is why it is so difficult for the “citizens” to get out of this losing streak,” Lucescu's words are cited by Golazo.
