Manchester City face Brighton in a huge match at the top of the title race. Pep held his usual presser and had a lot to say.
“Every player deserves to play,” he stated.
“Everyone has their starting XI or favourite players but everyone has their contribution. We have had three or four days since the last game against Chelsea.”
“There are many, many games and to arrive in that position after what we have done in the past, not just last season, was exceptional,” said the boss to journalists.
“It will be really, really difficult because we have tough games tomorrow the first, then Nottingham Forest playing [to avoid] relegation, and Fulham away like Fulham at home have been amazing all season so it will be tough until the end.
“It’s one game at a time and we know exactly that if we lose your will be so difficult to retain the title.
“Every game is different for the way they play or the way we have to play and yes, go for it. That’s the only thing we can say.”
“People talk about the Treble last season, but I don’t know how many finals or semi-finals in a row we have done in the FA Cup, the last few seasons maybe four or five in a row,” Guardiola said.
“That defines this club. This group of players, four Carabao Cups in a row, that defines this club. The latter stages of the Champions League when we broke that situation and the way we compete in this competition.
“We didn’t lose one game in the Champions League this season. We are out and we didn’t lose one game. Even with that, and the problems that we had, which every club has, still with that we are there.
“We try to extend one more week the Champions League. One more week, the chance tomorrow will be exactly one month until the end of the season.
“Just four weeks. On the 25th of next month, we will play the final game of the season against United in the FA Cup. We will give everything that we have I don’t know how much it is, but we will try to match our level of performance.”
“We have to win all games to have the chance in our hands to retain the title.
“Nothing changes in the fact of what we should do before [those results] nothing changes.”
A huge match that City need to win.
