103: Guardiola is confident but not arrogant

Conte won the Coach of the Month award for October, which is not good news for Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace fans were unhappy.

In their words, this award should belong to their legendary godfather Tong Yi.

Even according to what they said, the Coach of the Month for the first three months of the Premier League this season should belong to their legendary godfather Tong Yi.

Because in these three months, no team in the Premier League has performed better than Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is the only one!

The only team that currently maintains a 100% victory in the Premier League!

However, their legendary godfather Tong Yi only won the Best of the Month award in the first month, but did not win it in the following two months.

And what are the team leadership achievements of those who have won this award? One draw and one loss, two losses, one draw and three losses and one loss. Can these results be comparable to Crystal Palace's impressive results?

Totally impossible!

This award is not fair and impartial at all.

According to what they said, the best of the month for these three months belongs to Tong Yi.

Manchester City's head coach Guardiola also said this when being interviewed by media reporters, "Indeed, they are right. This award should indeed belong to Huaxia Tong. His achievements in leading the team in the past three months It is indeed the only one in the Premier League, and to be honest, I think it should be given to him.”

Yes, Guardiola doesn't shy away from anything, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of the FA and the Premier League. He speaks out.

It can be seen that Guardiola really does not take this award seriously.

It didn't matter to him.

Compared with these, what Guardiola wants most is victory!

Especially the win against Crystal Palace.

The next game is his chance with Manchester City.

And this game is very important for him and the Manchester City team. It can even be said to be a game that cannot be lost. If they lose this game, they will probably lose the chance to win the Premier League championship this season.

There is no exaggeration in this.

If Crystal Palace cannot be stopped from moving forward at this time, the point difference will become wider and wider, and it will seem like there will be no chance at all.

What's worse than this is that Guardiola is afraid of losing the confidence and pride of the Manchester City players in this game.

After losing this game, the Manchester City players will definitely think that it is impossible for them to defeat Crystal Palace in the Premier League this season. How will they play in the following leagues? What about facing Crystal Palace in the second half of the season?

If you lose this game, you will lose the entire season. It is not an exaggeration at all!

From this, you can imagine how important this game is to the Manchester City team!

And this game is also very important to the entire Premier League.

Now, the entire Premier League team must be paying attention to this game, especially the teams that aim to win the championship.

They want to see if Manchester City can withstand the pace of Crystal Palace.

If Manchester City loses and can't stop it.

Then there are very few teams that can beat Crystal Palace in the Premier League this season.

This season, these teams are not qualified to compete with Crystal Palace for the Premier League championship this season.

This game is very important.

Looking at the information in question, Guardiola raised his eyebrows slightly.

He said, "It seems that Crystal Palace will definitely field its full lineup in this game, except goalkeeper Alisson!"

The information in his hand was collected and compiled by Estiat and his data analysis team, and he looked at it very carefully.

Manuel Estiarte is Guardiola's personal assistant. He was a professional water polo player and even won the water polo Olympic championship in 1996. He later followed Guardiola at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Guardiola has always been an indispensable and important assistant.

This summer, he naturally followed Guardiola to Manchester City and continued to serve as Guardiola's personal assistant.

He and the data team behind him are also indispensable for Manchester City's current results.

Guardiola trusts him very much, even above the team's first assistant coach Domenech Torrent.

You have to know that Torrent is also an old man under Guardiola. He has been with Guardiola since he was still in Barcelona's B team until now. And Torrent sat next to Guardiola in almost every game. During the game, Guardiola often discussed the game with him and made adjustments.

Torrent's status in Guardiola's team is naturally self-evident, but Guardiola trusts Estiarte the most.

Torrent also looked at the information in his hand carefully and said, "Yes, it is no different from what we expected. The Crystal Palace game should be this full main lineup. It can be seen that the soft rice man from China is still very He values ​​us! To be honest, I hope he doesn’t value us so much. It would be great to have a rotation!"

The reason why Torrent said this was because he felt pressure from this information.

Even though they were successful and famous all over the world in Barcelona, ​​what kind of scenes and championships have they not won? What kind of opponent have you never seen?

However, seeing the results of Crystal Palace this season, the details revealed in these games, etc., even Torrent, the first assistant coach of the Champions League winning team

I still feel the pressure.

In his mind, this should be the strongest opponent they have ever encountered since coming out of Barcelona.

Even counting the time in Barcelona, ​​the Crystal Palace in front of them is among the best among a group of very, very strong opponents.

This game is indeed very dangerous.

Guardiola chuckled and said, "Do you really think David is a fool? Are you still looking down on you and making rotations? Do you look down on David, or do you look down on other strong teams in the Premier League?"

Tobit also chuckled and said, "Just a joke, just a joke!"

Tobit saw that the scene was a bit gloomy, so he made a joke that was not funny, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

He didn't mean to look down on Tong Yi and Crystal Palace at all. .??.

He's not a fool.

Can he not see how powerful this Crystal Palace team is?

Of course Guardiola knew this, so he didn't say anything, but said directly, "It seems that the only weakness of Crystal Palace in this game is their goalkeeper. Alisson's suspension will have a huge impact on them." . Think about it, who performed the best in Crystal Palace’s game against Liverpool?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up!

In that game, the best performer was naturally Alisson. Without Alisson, Crystal Palace would most likely not only have been scored on in that game, but would have even lost.

Without this biggest obstacle, there shouldn't be much suspense about Manchester City winning this game.

At this time, Guardiola's coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief. They had a good chance.

This is not to say that Guardiola's coaching staff is bad, but they know very well that facing a strong team like Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace will definitely not leave them too many loopholes or opportunities.

In addition to Alisson not being able to play in this game, it depends on the on-the-spot state and on-the-spot performance of the Manchester City players.

To be honest, Guardiola's coaching staff is still very confident in this area.

Although their team is not yet complete in their minds, the current lineup is already quite strong. Moreover, these players have gradually adapted to their training tactics. As long as they are in good enough condition and have no mental problems, they will be able to show their strongest strength and win the game.

Therefore, at this time, Guardiola's coaching staff is still very confident.

Even though the Crystal Palace is now like a big mountain, many people can't breathe, but their Manchester City team doesn't feel that way yet. They also feel the pressure, but they feel that their Manchester City team can still win this game.

Torrent immediately said, "Alisson can't play. This is really a blessing for me. In this game, we are Manchester City."

The team has a great chance. "

Everyone also nodded, full of confidence.

Guardiola looked at Rudolf Borrell and Brian Keane again and asked, "How is the current state of our players?"

Neither of these two were on Guardiola's coaching staff before, but they were assistant coaches of Manchester City before Guardiola came to Manchester City. Borrell left the Liverpool coaching staff in 2014 and then came to Manchester City, while Keane is a club veteran who has assisted Mancini and Pellegrini.

These two have also found their place in Guardiola's coaching staff.

Usually they have more contact with the players and lead the team in training, so they know the player's situation best, so Guardiola will ask these two people.

The two looked at each other, and then Keane said, "Currently our players are in good condition, full of energy, and full of fighting spirit. They are also looking forward to this game."

This is good. Guardiola turned to Buenaventura and Steven Lilley. The former is Guardiola's fitness coach since 2008, and the latter is the team's physical therapist.

Buenaventura immediately said "there is nothing wrong with the physical fitness of the players."

Lilly followed Buenaventura and said, "After returning from the national team, their bodies have recovered well. There is no accumulation of fatigue and no hidden injuries. It's great!"

Hearing these answers, Guardiola was very satisfied, and he was also full of confidence in the team for this game.

Yes, your Crystal Palace is in very good shape right now, and our Manchester City team can't find out where it is going. Even our Manchester City team is in very good shape.

It’s still unclear who will win this match!

Crystal Palace people, don’t be too happy too soon. In this game, our Manchester City team is full of confidence!

When being interviewed by media reporters before the game, Guardiola also said, "We know very well how powerful Crystal Palace is, and we also know that they are in very good shape. They are indeed the strongest opponent that our Manchester City team has ever encountered, but Our Manchester City team is also very well prepared, and our players are in very good condition. I can't guarantee that we will win, but I think our Manchester City team's winning rate in this game is at least - 50! "

See, this is confidence, the confidence that comes from Champions League winning coach Guardiola.

Although your Crystal Palace's current state seems to be very good and its results are very good, facing our Manchester City team, your Crystal Palace may not be able to do it.

In this game, we, the Manchester City team, have the final say!

The media reporters all felt very excited, and they all felt that Manchester City indeed had hope. At least Webster and Delvestri are more optimistic about Manchester City. They feel that Manchester City will teach the Crystal Palace people how to behave in this game. Manchester City must win this game!
