The head coach of Manchester City, Josep Guardiola, commented on the draw in the match of the 5th round of the English Championship against Arsenal (1:1).
“We cannot analyze the match without discussing what happened this week. We played tough matches against Manchester United and Napoli. I take my hat off to the team for its resilience. When you are ineffective in pressing, it is always difficult. I think the result is fair.
We had a few counterattacks, but I think Arsenal was better. This is a better result than last season, and better against Manchester United last week, so we take it normally. They were better, and we were tired. We played an emotional game against Napoli, and then we had four or five hours to get to London,” Guardiola is quoted by the press service of the «Citizens».
