Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager who conceded five goals against Leicester for the first time as a coach (2-5), indicated that they have to “accept it and move on.”
Although he referred to the losses he has, the Spanish coach rejected that they were decisive, since in the first match of the Premier against Wolverhampton City achieved the victory despite those absences. “In the game against Wolverhampton it was not a problem, why is it now all of a sudden?”, questioned Guardiola, who considered that they had “problems in attack.” “It has happened to us several times against this type of defenses. They did not press in 80 minutes, but you have to prevent them from going over you and reaching dangerous positions.”
“They didn't run much either, but we have to be there when they do.. It's what I saw from the band, but the same when I see it again, I see other things, “said the Spaniard, who indicated that after 1-0 they were not “strong enough to be patient and stable” and they also conceded three penalties. “We talked at halftime that we were playing well, we tried to avoid mistakes, but unfortunately we conceded the second and third goals and then it was more difficult.”
