Pep Guardiola on Josko Gvardiol's top performances: “I'd say it’s been more than weeks. I'd say it’s months already. There was a period that was so uncertain, not really, really good. But it’s normal in the first season, PL, the demanding, challenges, skills, and strengths.”
Pep Guardiola: “Today [vs. Wolves] we arrived here, and the players know, ‘Guys, if we don’t win, Ciao Ciao, bye bye, next season see each other’. It’s not much complicated, it doesn’t matter if you play before or later [than Arsenal].”
Pep Guardiola: “Just in case, hopefully, we win vs. Fulham, Arsenal will play in Old Trafford, who play for UEL. They’ll say, ‘If we don’t win, we'll not be PL Champions’. You see Arsenal, the way they’re playing, you smell they’re not going to lose the games they have.”
Pep Guardiola: “One week, three games. The important thing is it’s in our hands. If we win the games, we'll be PL Champions. The players know it, feel it, experienced it, and they have to do it again, and again, and again. It’s going to be easy? No. But, it’s in our hands.”
Pep Guardiola: “Fulham, always it’s been really tough for us, and Spurs - except in the FA Cup - we’ve never won [there] before in the PL.”
Pep Guardiola: “Now we're everybody fit. Look at the last minutes from Jeremy Doku, incredible. We need everyone. We have a long week, couple days off, rest, and go to 12:30, Fulham. After Fulham, Tuesday, and hopefully we arrive here for West Ham with a chance.”
Pep Guardiola on playing before Arsenal this weekend: “If we played Fulham after, we have to win! And Arsenal know they have to win! Not just 11 players, the staff, backroom, fans, everyone. It’s one little mistake. Because you will lose the PL. We know it, they know it.”
Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland's penalties: “People say, ‘Penalties are lucky’, no. If you're a good taker, you have a better chance. Of course, he’s going to miss, but everybody knows it’s a guarantee he’s a good taker, speed, ‘I’m going to take and score’. Confidence.”
Pep Guardiola asked if he expects Arsenal to beat @ManchesterUnited: “It’s a question for Ten Hag and Mikel, not for me…”,
Pep Guardiola’s management on rumors of a possible @Bayern_Munich return: “Pep has @Bayern_Munich in his heart, but he does not want to leave Man City this summer. He is very happy and has a contract until 2025. A return to @Bayern_Munich is not an option.”
