According to manager Pep Guardiola, the idea of ??Manchester City winning the Premier League next season is foolish, who has admitted he is afraid of losing because of the criticism he may receive.
Guardiola has led City to five of the last six Premier League titles and could end the season with a historic treble if the Blues win the FA Cup and Champions League within the next three weeks.
With City dominating this season, they were soon seen as strong contenders for next season's Premier League title, but Guardiola says this season won't affect their chances next year. To explain his view, Guardiola said he never gets tired of winning because he is afraid of losing, and that external predictions should be put out of his mind as they are just 'opportunities'. stupid argument'.
"Show me a manager who doesn't want to win," said Guardiola. "I'm afraid of losing, I don't want to be criticized, I want my players to respect me. What we say, what we do is win. I accept my defeats because I always do. accept that the opponent can be better and beat us. "So when people say we fail or lose, it's like other people are talking bad. But other people can be good and beat us up. It's like ignoring others. If other people beat us, it's because they deserve it.When people now say that next season only Man City will win the Premier League, those are stupid comments. "As much as you're not in your head it's because you accept these are stupid comments. But as long as they're not in your head, they're still stupid comments. Next season is going to be tough. because all the clubs want to beat us, that's the challenge.
"Next season, for a year, we will defend our crown. It's been with us for a year and we'll work on it. If they want to, they have to do better than us. But if that happens, we'll congratulate them."
Looking ahead to the final games of the season, Guardiola insists that, at the same time, City must take their two finals as seriously as possible and ignore predictions that they will win the treble. forever.
I said:
“United can beat us. Inter can beat us. They have three Champions League titles, we don't. But we must do our best to avoid it.
