Coach Pep Guardiola admits a surprising truth that caused Man City to collapse

"In eight years, we have never been in a situation like this. Now we have to go through it, and we have to break it by winning the next games, and especially the next game. We will come back. We will do it," coach Pep Guardiola shared on BBC Sport after the shocking defeat to Tottenham.

Coach Pep Guardiola is under pressure due to Man City's rapid decline

This is Man City's 5th consecutive loss in all competitions recently, including 3 matches in the Premier League, 1 in the League Cup, also losing to Tottenham 1-2 in the round of 16 and losing to Sporting CP 1-4 in the Champions League.

In these matches, "Man City" conceded a record number of goals up to 14. This is also the first time coach Pep Guardiola has experienced 5 consecutive losses in his career.

These consecutive defeats also occurred at the time when coach Pep Guardiola had just signed a 2-year contract extension with Man City until June 2027. Therefore, it shows that the pressure is really weighing on the Spanish coach despite his previous great achievements.

"We had too many problems without the ball and when we pushed high to put pressure on the opponent. We just did well in the deployment and created many opportunities. However, on a day when everything did not go as expected, we have to learn to accept it," coach Pep Guardiola expressed.

In the next two crucial matches, Man City will meet Feyenoord in the 5th round of the Champions League, followed by a trip to Liverpool at Anfield in the 13th round of the Premier League. "We have to win these matches. Especially the match against Liverpool, there is no way back, if we still think about the championship race," coach Pep Guardiola emphasized.

"We have won the Premier League four seasons in a row, continuously competed in the Champions League, and now we will change just because of a few losses? I believe, step by step, the players will come back and try to win," coach Pep Guardiola added.
