Pep Guardiola Insists Liverpool Pressure Is Sure To Get The Best Out Of Manchester City

Pep Guardiola believes the pressure to win the remainder of every Premier League game would be enough to boost this Manchester City squad.

Liverpool managed to grab a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to go 2 points clear at the top of the league table. The Citizens are now due to face Cardiff City in the mid-week with the chance to retake their spot at the summit.

Guardiola has admitted to chasing the quadruple this season, having already claimed the Carabo Cup. With key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho returning to full fitness, the Spanish manager is growing more in confidence over actually winning his second English crown.

He said, “For the semi-final and for the Champions League, being in the position in the Premier League where you know if you don’t win you are going to lose the Premier League, maybe that’s going to help us for the other competitions.

“If you are 10 points in front you can maybe be a little more selective. But now there’s no other option, we don’t have any other choice, so every game we have to win, if not you drop that competition.

“So that’s why sometimes to play with that pressure is nice, it’s necessary to get the best out of ourselves. There’s no complaints about our mentality, what happened last season and this season again.

“The players are not stupid, about the fact we’re trying something so difficult to achieve. The way we started to play against Fulham, they show me we want to do it.

“What’s next is Cardiff, so we’ll prepare well, and go like a machine to win, to play, and try to win. Mentally the players are ready.”
