The Premier League is boring? Guardiola vigorously answered questions ahead of Tottenham. Dismisses claims that money is behind City’s success
Manchester City is quite close to winning a fourth championship in a row. In the remaining games, they still need to beat Tottenham and West Ham. However, Citizens manager Pep Guardiola rejects the idea that only money spent is behind the club’s success.
Manchester City is quite close to winning a fourth championship in a row. In the remaining games, they still need to beat Tottenham and West Ham. However, Citizens manager Pep Guardiola rejects the idea that only money spent is behind the club’s success.
Manchester City is admittedly second in the English top flight table, a point behind second-placed Arsenal. The famous English club has 85 points, the Gunners 86.
But it should be noted that the Citizens have one match to play. They must beat Tottenham and West Ham if they want to ensure that it is not Arsenal who finish in first place.
At a press conference just before the Spurs game, the Manchester City manager was asked whether the financial side played a significant role in his team’s dominance. And how did Guardiola react?
“The Premier League is boring? It’s not, it’s tough. If it was only about money, Manchester United would have won all the titles, Chelsea would have won all the titles, Arsenal too,” Guardiola said, referring to who has been most active in the transfer market in recent years.
Indeed, Manchester City have not even been in the top 5 in terms of spending on player signings in recent years. Ahead of the reigning Premier League champion are both Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as Arsenal.
Guardiola can achieve historic success with City
Pep Guardiola’s men can achieve a historic success, precisely by winning a fourth consecutive championship title. However, the Spanish strategist admits that this was not the primary goal at the start of the season.
“At the start of the season we didn’t think about it. But then we were there in February, March and April, we were still there. After that, we all had something on our minds,” the City coach said.
“Nobody could do it. That shows how difficult it is. Liverpool in the 80s, Sir Alex Ferguson’s United in the 90s. Chelsea with Abramovich and Jose, Arsenal with Wenger couldn’t do it,” Guardiola added.
