The main battle for the English Premier League title is currently between Arsenal and their closest rival, Manchester City. In the next round, Manchester United drew 2-2 at home against Nottingham Forest, losing two valuable points. At the same time, Arsenal secured victory in their match, further solidifying their lead. After this result, "City" is 7 points behind the leader, but has one substitute game.
Naturally, after such a painful draw, journalists couldn't help but ask Pep Guardiola about the championship race. The Spanish coach was asked if he still believed the team could change the situation with the help of unexpected turns. And Guardiola, as usual, answered coldly and correctly: there are still many games ahead, so the struggle must not be stopped. In a quote broadcast on TNT Sports, he specifically expressed the opinion that "there are still many games, we need to continue."
These words aren't just another standard answer. Because the match against "Nottingham Forest" was very painful for "City": the team took the lead twice, but each time the opponent found the answer. The Guardian called this result another serious blow to City's championship hopes. Therefore, Guardiola's statement is also seen as a signal aimed at maintaining the team psychologically.
Pep's approach is clear: no matter how difficult the situation, he doesn't intend to give up the championship race early. Manchester City still has several decisive matches ahead, so any scenario is still open. However, the truth is that now every round is turning into a final for Manchester United. Another point loss - and the dream of the championship could be far away.
In short, Guardiola hasn't lowered the flag yet. One thing was clear from his words: "City" has not yet emerged from the struggle. Now there is only one question - whether this will be answered in the field of trust or not.
