Pep Guardiola says Manchester City played well throughout their defeat to Arsenal but regrets letting the game slip away late on
The Spanish boss praised his team’s effort as Arsenal fought back to win 5-1, admitting his players lost control towards the end of the game.
“I only regret the last 25 minutes. We forgot to do what we should have done, which we did in the last 65-70 minutes. Of course, it was a difficult game on this pitch against this team, who conceded in the first minute, as has happened many times this season.”
“But after 10, 15 minutes I thought we played very well. We were in that situation after 1-1 and we had good momentum. หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล We played the ball to Omar [Marmouch] and then we turned it away and got the third goal.”
“But then we did what we had to do defensively and we were a little bit more patient. When you play like that, they can run and of course at 3-1 they were comfortable so it was a bit more difficult.”
“I’m sorry about the last 15-20 minutes, but the rest of the game was really good for our team. It’s hard to understand when you see the result, but that’s how I feel.”
“It’s happened all season, we lost a lot of things, we knew it couldn’t happen and it happened, but we reacted really well, we played with character and defended really well, then we were a threat with the ball but unfortunately after that the second goal came, a lot of times we had momentum.”
“You have to win it. You can’t lose control in the 90th or 95th minute. And you can’t finish like we did. We could have scored three more goals but the team has to be consistent, no matter what happens.”
