Guardiola: I'm not good enough! - ManCity in crisis!

After a dramatic derby defeat against Manchester United, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola went public with harsh self-criticism. After the 1-2 setback, in which the “Skyblues” conceded two late goals, the Spanish coach openly admitted: “I am the boss, I am the manager and I am not good enough.” His team has already suffered eight defeats in the last eleven games and a win has been on the horizon for some time. Guardiola did not expect this worst sporting phase of his career as a top coach, which further exacerbates the situation for him and the entire club Sky Sports reported.

Guardiola, who recently extended his contract until 2027, now faces the challenge of getting his team back on track. “I knew it was going to be a tough season, but I didn’t expect it to be as tough as it is.” In particular, the absences due to injuries, such as that of star player Rodri, have caused problems for City. "I have to find solutions and I can't find solutions. It's that simple," admitted Guardiola. The coach's self-critical words reflect the serious situation of the club, which is already nine points behind leaders Liverpool in the table Laola1 reported.

The consequences of the derby

The defeat to United led to further questions about Guardiola's ability to get his team's game back on track. He added: "It's a big team and if you lose eight out of 11 games then something is wrong." In the final minutes of the game the team once again put in a poor performance, which was backed up by Guardiola's statement that they played like U-15s in the second half. The next test comes with the next away game against Aston Villa, and Guardiola is determined to turn things around: “I’m here to try and I’ll keep trying.”
