Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has urged his side to tighten up at the back after they conceded two sloppy goals against Viktoria Plzen last night in the Champions League.
Luckily for Pellegrini and co., his strike-force and midfielder are on fire as they managed to net four goals in the clash at the Etihad, but due to lacklustre defending, returning Joe Hart had to pick the ball out of his net on two occasions.
In 19 games so far this season, Pellegrini’s men have only conceded 20 goals, but the Chilean still wants to see some improvement.
“We can attack without giving so many chances,” he said after their Champions League Group D game at Etihad Stadium.
“One of the important things for attacking teams is how to defend. On that front, we did very bad tonight.”
He added: “I am talking about the whole team. I think the whole team must know how to defend.
“We didn’t have the intensity or the pace today to do it and I am not talking about individual players.”
