Pep Guardiola #press_conference
Pep Guardiola: "I don't have an opinion on fans returning, I trust the government and scientists. If the decision has been made it's because they think it's what we have to do. I don't have anything else to say.."
Pep Guardiola: "The squad fitness? Everything is good.."
Pep Guardiola: "Sergio Aguero going to give us a decision [New contract]. He's still not in his best condition. His injury was long. He needs to be so sharp, the quality to score in the box we don't have doubts but he need a bit of time, training sessions.."
π Your opinion on scoring problems?
Pep Guadiola: "Important is the last games we played we created much more than the opponents. You can win the game or lose it but you are closest to winning if you have more than the opponents in the Champions League to have 20 shots is an achievement."
"One day we will break and put on the table what we deserve. We need to put players in the box.."

PEP on Sergio Aguero π¬ He didn't train.
He has some disturbance in knee, nothing serious, but he didnβt train.
PEP π¬ We go there to secure first place in the group stage.
The important thing is done, we are already qualified. But itβs important to maintain our rhythm. The game must be played in the best condition possible and we make a good game.
PEP π¬ Cancelo has made an incredible impact this season - with his commitment and focus. Still he has to work and concentrate for 90 mins, but he helped us a lot when Zinchenko and Ake were injured. He recovers after games immediately.
He is like a winger in the final third.
PEP on Porto π¬ It will be a tough physical game.
They have incredible team spirit and have outstanding physicality. It will be tough, we know it - itβs #UCL away.
Top teams in Portugal have to win every weekend, when you have that mentality, it makes them so dangerous.

#press_conference Pep and Zack #MCIMAR
Zack Steffen π¬ βI've learned a lot so far. It's been busy, it's just the details, how closely they focus on everything - shot stopping, playing with feet, your position your entire game - it's been a pleasure to be here it's been awesome.β
Zack Steffen π¬ βWalking out and hearing the song is going to be special for me and my family. I'm excited to play another game at the Etihad, and playing against Steve [Mandanda] will be special. He was one of my idols growing up.β
Zack Steffen π¬ βI feel like I've learned a lot from the coaches, Eddy and Scott. I still feel like there's a lot for me to learn. I feel like I've improved in a decent way since I came here. Coming here was tough at first but now I feel settled and I'm ready for more.β
Zack Steffen π¬ βThis is a good challenge for us. We need to be professional, get a shut-out and get as many points as we can and continue our good play and get more confidence going into the derby.β
Zack Steffen π¬ βHeβs always laughing [Ederson] but he's serious as well. The camaraderies that he, Scott, Xabi and Rich have created, the goalkeeping community they have created is awesome. It's very detailed but there's laughter there too. It's been a pleasure to be part of it.β
PEP π¬ βWe will decide tomorrow. Maybe he [Aguero] will be on the bench. Tomorrow we will see his reaction to his body, not just his knee. But what's important is in the last 4, 3 days he was part of the group and the niggles he had in recent past disappeared.β
PEP π¬ βEveryone has played a lot of minutes, so like I said before we will play to win. I put the best I can put out for a specific game. There isn't one team for one competition. Everyone is involved and can be part of the team.β
PEP π¬ βI answered this in the previous press conference - always the same. I said he [Fernandinho] is part of the team, he was awesome against Porto, he is struggling to play three games a week, so we have to handle the efforts because he isn't like four years ago.β
PEP π¬ βYeah, but it is what it is. The schedules are the schedules. Sometimes itβs good for second team, sometimes not. But four or five players will be in the squad tomorrow. But we will play the game to win the game. We have to respect Marseille and Olympiakos.β
PEP π¬ βAll season he's been top. since the first game against Wolves he played so good. Phil's young but he has a specific energy and quality. He has to improve final decision in 18 yard box but thatβs part of his age. His energy will be handled the best way through the years.β
PEP π¬ βYeah, itβs so good. In this moment I see Phil play upfront because of his dynamic sense of goal and he helps us with first pressure. When he is 24, 25 I think he'll be able to play more defensive positions. Now he can play both wingers, behind strikers and as a striker.β
PEP π¬ βHe [Mendy] doesn't get the best level yet but he has played quite well. When he can train regularly and isnβt stopped by injury, he can show us what he really is.β
PEP π¬ βLot of respect - he [Villas-Boas] has been at a lot of clubs and had incredible success at Porto - then in England and France. Unfortunately he could not get the results in the Champions League.β
PEP π¬ βTo start with zero points from two games is difficult but the quality is there with Payet and Thauvin. The French league's tough. It will be an interesting game. Important for them to try and qualify for Europa League but for us too.

PEP π¬ Itβs not a knock out game. Itβs three more points. Important for the quality of the opponent but there are a lot of fixtures to come and we'll try to win our games.
PEP π¬ Itβs much better being at Old Trafford and Etihad Stadium with the fans. Step by step we'll open stadiums in England, in Manchester not yet. But when the officials say we can make the next step, we'll do it and when it settles all round the world the fans will be back.
PEP π¬ We know it. Thatβs why we get a lot of salary to deal with these situations. I don't have to give him [Solskjaer] support because he is strong enough and he knows how to do this job. When we win we are genius, when we lose we should be sacked.
PEP π¬ Every one except two players, all the ones are fit. People are for this ridiculous rule meaning we cannot have more on the bench, so it's more difficult to maintain a good level. That's why they have to be ready every week because they have to be ready to play.
PEP π¬ There are a lot of games to play we are in the beginning of the season. But itβs important to win and beat a big rival. Now is time to focus on the Premier League.
PEP π¬ Yeah, there are another 14 teams as well. Itβs not Carabao Cup last season, or knockout FA Cup. itβs 38 games. We have played ten. Itβs important of course but there's more to go.

Pep Guardiola's Press Conference ahead of City's match against West Bromwich
PEP π¬ On behalf of all at Manchester City, our deep condolences to Gerard Houllier's family. He was an incredible lovely person when I met him at UEFA meetings or when we played Lyon, or when I met him as a player and manager.
Itβs sad news for all world football.
PEP π¬ I learned when I was in Germany how big, important and historical a team Gladbach are. I respect the beauty of their football.
All I can say is I want to arrive in the best possible condition when we play them.
We want to compete as best as possible and go through.
PEP π¬ Today Kun Aguero was training. The last two, three days he could not train.
Today he trained and we will decide tomorrow.
PEP π¬ Eric Garcia is still not fit, Oleksandr neither. The rest are ok.
John Stones is performing well and that's why he is playing.
There is a lot of games, everyone has to be ready. I tell them don't complain; you will get chance, you need to be ready.

PEP on Kun Aguero availability π¬ Heβs isolating. The rules, after nine or 10 days he will be back.
PEP on Phil Foden π¬ He's playing like he has always played, with high standards in all departments.
Still, big margins to improve, because it would be bad news if he couldn't improve at his age.
From day one until now we're happy and delighted, especially with his behaviour.
PEP on injuries π¬ Laporte and Nathan Ake are injured.
Eric Garcia, Adrian Bernabe and Cole Palmer are isolating.
The rest are OK.
PEP π¬ Brighton are a joy to watch. A joy to analyse.
I said to the players today, we have to be at a high standard to beat them. Forget the results we had in the past - they are better in all departments. They create more than they conceded.
PEP π¬ Bernardo Silva is so intelligent.
He can play everywhere, even holding midfielder. He understands the game perfectly. He understands each position he has to play.
I am incredibly delighted with the two goals because he is fighting to score.
PEP π¬ The only difference is we run less. We were running too much - to play football you have to run much less.
Without the ball you have to run but with the ball you have to stay more in position & let the ball run and not you - we've improved in these games in those terms.

PEP π¬ He ( Sergio Aguero) is not ready for tomorrow. He is still isolating.
PEP π¬ He (Laporte) is at the last step. He is not ready for tomorrow, but he is training with us. Yesterday was the first one, today was the second.
PEP π¬ The only concern is Aston Villa right now. We donβt know who will be available, right now, we will see tomorrow in the line up. The performance is the only concern. In this league you can win five games in a row and then lose three in a row.
PEP π¬ We expect the best (from Villa). I don't know the situation. I wish they are healthy and have recovered well. This is the most important thing. We expect the best. It depends on us. We can cause them problems.
PEP on Dias π¬ We knew the quality on the pitch. We knew the personality he had but, of course, we are impressed with the mentality, the physicality to play every three games. We're more than delighted with his behaviour and what he provides for the team.
PEP on whether Laporte will be fit for Saturday π¬Hopefully. That would be good news. We need him. We cannot play with just (John) Stones and Ruben (Dias). We need Nathan (Ake) and Eric (Garcia). We need Laporte.

π¨ PRESS CONFERENCE π¨
PEP π¬ Kyle had a big impact kick in his hips, but just a kick, so is not available tomorrow but we wish he is available for the next game. Kevin, the doctor had to review the scan this morning, and he will be out between four and six weeks.
PEP π¬ We have to move forward. I'm not saying that nobody doesnβt know about how his importance. Unfortunately for him and us, he'll be out for an important part of the season and we have to find a solution because everyone's struggling in this situation and we have to adapt.
PEP π¬ I donβt know. There are many reasons why one team is champion. It is so important when you have fit and healthy players, but it is impossible. It is impossible to be fit for 11 months playing every three days, at every club.
PEP π¬ We knew it. We have better medical treatment and better nutrition than ever. We do what we can to take care of the players but they are human beings. It is normal. We cannot ask something to be solved. It is impossible.
PEP π¬ The players don't want to get injured, but they're human. Why in the FA Cup can we use five subs but in the League not? It is a different competition. Is it a special one? Itβs not just because itβs Kevin. It is everyone for the past five seasons. It is too many games.
PEP π¬ Yeah, the rest are ready. Nathan is still not ready. Aymeric came back, Eric came back to training.
PEP π¬ What we wish right now is that Sergio feels better. He felt uncomfortable in the first three days after testing positive. He felt quite tired, with all the symptoms you get. Hopefully he can come back. Step by step in training. A long time we have missed our best striker.
PEP π¬ He is back. He struggled last season, maybe for lack of minutes I gave him or maybe because he was not like him. He has always been important. Bernardo Silva cannot play every single game. We have alternatives and the academy
PEP π¬ This is not going to happen with me. I know the League is the most important one and the UCL is the second most important one. Four finals in a row in the Carabao Cup is because every game is important. So, no chance (of prioritising). We donβt drop any competition.
PEP π¬ When we lose it is because the opponent is better or we made a bad performance. Cheltenham deserve my respect. Now I am going to play the team against Cheltenham, we are training exactly what we want to do to try and beat them.

#man_city_news #pep #press_conference #mcn
PEP π¬ Everyone is fine except Nathan and Sergio needs time. When one guy suffers Covid it takes weeks to feel better.
PEP π¬ So proud. Not just for me. For all the Club. Especially in this year when it is more difficult. Of course we're proud because nobody has done it before. All the teams in England with incredible histories have not been able to do it [January record].
PEP π¬ We were a little bit inconsistent earlier in the season. We will see how consistent we still are. In some games we have been more comfortable in some games we have fought until the last minute. It cannot be any other way. Burnley is the next one.
PEP π¬ Everything. This last six weeks everyone has been involved and everyone has played minutes. I am a guy who rotates quite often. I donβt play the same 11 every week because no human being can sustain it. That's why everyone is involved.
PEP π¬ Always I think when playing Burnley, especially away, is that it will never be easy. They have played together for Sean Dyche for a long time and they know what to do really well.
PEP π¬ The past is nothing. Every time is a new chance, a new challenge, to do a good game. What happened in the past I donβt pay zero attention. It is about tomorrow, what we have to do to beat them. That is only my concern.
PEP π¬ I donβt know [500 wins]. Especially because the players are good and the clubs where I have worked have been so good. This is the only reason. All athletes prefer to win than lose.
PEP π¬ You feel better when you win. When you win it is so addictive and you want to win again and again and again. When it comes to titles you want more. It comes from there.
PEP π¬ Always I have the feeling that I can lose a game. Thatβs what drives you. Insecurity and fear and being scared that you can lose a game. Everyone is the same. Why should you stop if you are able to win. It comes from there.
PEP π¬ The pleasure for the players is incomparable. I would change right now to be a player. As a player you share it with your mates in the locker room. The manager celebrates in different ways. In 90 minutes we can shout and move our arms but our influence is so minimal.
PEP π¬ As a player I had the ball at my feet and could control the game. The pleasure to play football is incomparable. This is a way to stay involved in the game but I would change right now to play football.
PEP π¬ Absolutely. Six weeks ago we were not contenders for anything, six weeks later we are. Everything can change so quick. We could drop points. Only I am concerned about Burnley. Thatβs all.
PEP π¬ He [Aguero] is still not training on the field. He started moving yesterday. He will need a few weeks to come back. The important thing is he is negative and he can come back to us.
PEP π¬ Burnley. Consistency is Burnley. I don't think for one second how many games we have to win. If you win, celebrate that night and then the next one. The good teams when they are in the shower they are thinking about the next one.

PEP π¬ The game is to win and to get three points. Itβs not about how many years, or how many centuries, there are thirty eight Premier League games - this is one more.
PEP π¬ I don't make predictions about the future because I don't know. I am so good, but not to anticipate the future. Not long ago we were twelfth in table and now we're first. I am not concerned more about the Liverpool game than the rest.
PEP π¬ Jurgen has to see the calendar again. We had Covid, one week off and played with fourteen players in Stamford Bridge. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was three weeks, or four weeks. When I see Jurgen, maybe I will ask. I'm surprised. I thought Jurgen wasn't that type of manager.
PEP π¬ The reason why we won a lot of titles is because everyone is important. We cannot get big prizes with just 12/13 players. When teams win they drop, but we are still there thatβs because we have many good players. But we miss Sergio and Kevin and Nathan - so come back asap.
PEP π¬ They are always, it is a top team. It remains a top squad, they know the process, skills, methodology, they are aggressive. They will be more aggressive than ever, they rest after Brighton. They recover and will be ready.
PEP π¬ One of them, absolutely. A lot of points to play. My experience in January is no team is off the race and no team already champions.
PEP π¬ This season, how many leaders has there been in one single season. Lots of changes - it can happen again. Focus on Liverpool then Swansea and then Tottenham. This is the way to approach.
PEP π¬ I'm going to confess something. I approach one game at a time since 2008 when I became a manager, itβs not news. Itβs the same point as Sheffield, Burnley. They didn't give us five points for this game. Itβs 3 points. Itβs not a knockout. Itβs three more points.
PEP π¬ He was already the player he is [Gundogan]. Better maybe for his experience now. But the quality, personality - he took a penalty in UCL final. That shows personality. He's so intelligent. He can solve problems, actions differently during every second.
PEP π¬ It'd be important, I cannot deny it. I want to see my team go to Anfield and try to win the game, like day one since we were together. We make a good performance there and sometimes weren't able to win. But we go there to win the game, not draw. We want to win the game.
PEP π¬ I will tell him [Klopp]. I am not irritated. From him I didn't expect it. He knows it's not true, come on. No one has had two weeks off! I didn't think he was this type of guy. If he did it, okay, maybe I was wrong.
PEP π¬ When we buy a player [Cancelo], we think where he will play - but then you train and talk to him. First seasons, Fabian was key to the way we played. You start to see the movements he does, or whatever. Maybe he can do it and then you prove it and try it.

Pep Guardiola Press Conference #SWAMCI
PEP π¬ We are happy for the result [v Liverpool], the three points, no more than that.
The way Gundogan missed a penalty and then reacted shows how strong he is. We try and see as many games as possible to analyse what we do to beat them. Itβs not secrets, itβs our job and life
PEP π¬ Yesterday [Aguero] trained with the group for 10-15 minutes and later he did some part alone. Day by day he is feeling better.
Not yet [idea when he will return].
PEP π¬ [Ederson] has to save the goals and after that we will see what happenes. Now Aguero is out and Kevin not here, it is an option [Ederson taking penalities]. Of course it is.
The penalty taker has to have personality.
PEP π¬ We play with a centre forward in many games. When we don't play with a typical centre forward, the people have to move a little bit more.
Against Liverpool, four or five people were always in the box.
I like to see players move in this positon.

Press Conference #MCITOT
PEP π¬ Rodri trained quite good today and I think he will be available tomorrow, Fernandinho is out, Ruben came back today and Sergio made his second training session with us. Except Fernandinho, Nathan and Kevin, I think the rest of the first team squad are available.
PEP π¬ Itβs nice [15 wins]. In Bayern and Barcelona we also made good runs. It's a consequence of things game by game. Stats are nice but stats don't help win the next one. The next one is Tottenham.
PEP π¬ We did really well. We lost because they were better in many aspects than us in that game [Spurs away]. You see the quality of the players they have and the manager, itβs a strong team. We have to do better tomorrow to beat them.
PEP π¬ Pretty much the same. Means we are working for many, many years, that's good for us. If we face each other many times, it is because we do the job we love. Heβs a good contender [Jose].
PEP π¬ The counter attack can be controlled when you play with simplicity. Counter attacks are controlled by eleven players, not just one or two. The quality of Bergwijn, Lucas, Ndombele, Kane, Son. They have strong points.
PEP π¬ Set pieces is another one. We saw against Everton how strong they are with set pieces. They have quality in these situations. Thatβs why itβs Tottenham. They are always fighting for Premier League and Champions League positions.
PEP π¬ We're not unbeatable. The 15 games in a row winning didn't help us start 2-0 up. I said many times, itβs nice, it's good and it helped us be where we are in Carabao Cup, FA cup, Champions League and Premier League. 15 wins helped us be where we are - but no more than that.
PEP π¬ We have to start again tomorrow. This is the target. We try to recover, see who they are, what they have done when we played there and we need to know what to do to play better and to beat them. That's my only concern in the three days since Swansea.
PEP π¬ Of course Phil learned from David. But Phil has specific things that still cannot be like David, but he has other things that are special too. Phil can play as a winger, both sides and in the middle too.
PEP π¬ Well deserved [Gundogan POTM], happy for him. First time, lots of goals, minutes and good actions. More than well deserved.
PEP π¬ I would not say one day, maybe we realise we needed to change, players realise they have to do more and start to win games and the second, third one started giving us confidence [to go on a winning run].
PEP π¬ The best holding midfielders don't appear in the newspapers or front pages. They hide behind the team but when the team plays good it is because they are outstanding.
PEP π¬ He [Rodri] adapted quick. He adapted immediately. He is still young. There are some issues he still has to learn and he will learn it. But he is a really important player for us.
