Pep Guardiola calls the stars of the city of the “fragile” man and points his finger after Arsenal Humiling

Pep Guardiola castigated his own “fragile” players from Manchester City, saying that “they have a duty and they did not do it” during their 5-1 defeat in Arsenal.

He could not hide his frustrations, in particular with regard to the closing stadiums of the match, while the Gunners dominated and moved away after the goals of Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri.

Asked about the fragility of his team due to many setbacks and injuries throughout a disjointed campaign, the head coach retaliated by saying: “They can be fragile, it happened several times, but they have A duty and they did not do it. “

Until the 62nd minute, when Lewis-Skelly wrapped an effort and narrated Haaland with his celebration, Guardiola was satisfied with the performance of his team. But it quickly changed.

“I only regret the last 25 minutes,” he told the BBC. “We forgot to do what we have to do, what we did for 65, 70 minutes. Of course, it's a difficult game from this stadium, against this team in the first minutes, it happened Several times this season.

“But after 10, 15 minutes, I think we took the match and played really, really, really, really good and we are there after 1-1 and a good momentum, we pass to make the transition with Omar [Marmoush] and a deviation and the third goal.

“But after that, we then continued to do what you have to do in terms of defensive and [be a] A little more patient. And when you play this way, they can run and of course 3-1, they are comfortable, it's more difficult. I regret the last 15, 20 minutes, the rest was a very good match for our team. It is difficult to understand when you see the result, but it is my feeling.

“It happened all season, we give too much, we know that it cannot happen, it happened. But we reacted very well and we played with the personality and we defended so well and then With the ball, we were a threat but unfortunately after the second, we still had the momentum.

“You have to overcome [it]You cannot lose control, it is 90, 95 minutes. You cannot finish in the way we played, we could have scored three more, but the team must be stable, whatever what happened. “”

Guardiola agreed with the evaluation of John Stones according to which the last third of the match was “unacceptable” after the central defender of England presented public apology to their itinerant fans.

“It's difficult,” Stones told Sky Sports. “I think we are not all taking well lost. It is difficult to put words right after a game like that. Pride hurts. Sorry for the fans who traveled to come and watch this. How we played in the 30 last minutes were not acceptable.

“It is not pleasant to get involved since you know that it is not your team in these situations. Credit at Arsenal, it is not an easy place to come. For 65 minutes, we have Sometimes played a big football.

“We were in the match and it was an oscillating point. It threw the wrong way for us. I am angry, upset personally and collectively on the way the game ended.”
