Why I always hates Chelsea – Pep Guardiola finally reveals after shock Man City 1-1 draw against Chelsea
Pep Guardiola spoke after Manchester City’s draw against Chelsea:
“I don’t agree [that City lost control]. They scored a goal and that is why you analyse the result. Of course they made a step up and were more intense in the pressing and they had the chances because we lost two balls in the beginning of the second half. But, if you believe that they shifted the momentum, ok. You maybe know better.
“I hated Chelsea, because Chelsea is a world champions team. It is not academy players there. Top class players. So to have control for 90 minutes against a team is so, so difficult. We missed chances in the second half, four or five actions of two versus one or three versus two. Our talented players tried to finish the game but we could not do that.
“It is what it is. When you talk about all the stats in all the departments that we can analyse then one is how effective you are in the final third. In general how we defend, how we run, how we play, was extraordinary.”
On the six point gap at the top: “We recover people and we see on Wednesday.”
