"Pep Guardiola remains satisfied despite Manchester City's poor defense."
After 24 matches in the Premier League, Manchester City have conceded a staggering 31 goals, a concerning record compared to their performance at the same stage last year. However, coach Pep Guardiola remains calm in the face of the current situation.In a recent interview (recorded by City Xtra), he shared: "We like to keep clean sheets. Every team wants that, and we are no exception. We want to keep clean sheets, concede less, and not let in goals."
"But ultimately, what we want is to win games. Sometimes you defend well but still concede, and sometimes you don't concede. Since I've been here, I've never focused on keeping clean sheets; the players know that."
"If you ask for just clean sheets, they forget it, focus only on defending, and forget what they have to do. What you have to do is play better, better, better, concede less, attack better, and create more chances. That's my goal every time I prepare a game," shared the head coach of Manchester City.
