Josep Guardiola has ordered his Manchester City team to reduce their ambitions from winning five consecutive Premier League titles to a 15th consecutive Champions League title, ยูฟ่าเบท. So they must get three points from their game against Everton (December 26).
City have now competed in the Champions League for 14 consecutive years. The most of any English club, with only Arsenal (1998-2017) and Manchester United (1996-2014) previously achieving the feat.
However, Guardiola is concerned that after 17 match days, the team is in 7th place. If they continue to let their form go as planned. They may be out of orbit for a long time, even though from next season. The English Premier League will increase the number of teams in the Champions League from 4 to 5 teams.
“When I said before that getting a Champions League spot through league rankings was an achievement, people laughed,” Guardiola said.
“They said – Going to the Champions League is not an achievement – “
“But I know that this idea is only with the clubs in this country – they have the image that the Premier League teams in England are shining on the continent for many years after being absent for a long time.”
“One of the teams that has performed outstandingly in the Champions League in recent years is our Man City.”
“However, we are at risk now. Of course, if we continue like this, we may miss the quota.”
“There are many competitors because playing in the Champions League is important for every club – especially. If they can’t win the game, they might lose their job.”
“So if in the end we can’t play in the Champions League next season, it’s because we’re not worthy, because we’re not well-prepared, because we have many unsolvable problems.”
Pep is just trying to motivate his team, which big bookmaker William Hill knows well and is still the #4 favorite to finish in the top four of the English Premier League at the end of the season. Rate 8/13 ( bet 13 , pay 8 , not including capital )
