Coach Pep Guardiola: “Man City players make me lose all my hair”

(Dan Tri) - Coach Pep Guardiola appeared confused after Man City won a dramatic 5-4 victory over Fulham in round 14 of the Premier League on the morning of December 3.

“Erling Haaland had a chance to make it 6-3 but he missed and then it was 5-4. It was a really tough game for us, the players' morale was down when they scored 3 goals in a row, at that time I felt extremely angry.

I don't understand why. I'm old, the disrespect from Man City players made me lose all my hair. They shouldn't treat their coach like that," coach Pep Guardiola said in the post-match press conference.

In the first half, Man City led their opponents 3-1. In the second half, the home team at Etihad increased the score to 5-1, seemingly settled. Suddenly, the defense collapsed, allowing Fulham to score three goals in a row, reducing the score to 4-5 in the 78th minute.

Fulham then had two more golden chances to equalise, including a 98th-minute shot that went past goalkeeper Donnarumma but was saved on the line by Gvardiol.

After the dramatic match, coach Guardiola was extremely angry. He immediately criticized Savinho for his poor individual performance and lack of concentration after coming on from the bench.

“The Premier League always throws up surprises but I think it’s about the quality, the tenacity and the defensive ability of the team. When the score was 5-1, many fans thought it was going to be a landslide victory, and many even posted on social media saying “Man City are back”. When the game ended, they frantically deleted the post.

But in any case, the players tried their best in this match. We had an important victory to close the gap with the top team Arsenal. Overcoming Arteta's team is very difficult, but the season is still very long.

And I promise you that I have enough experience to go a long, long way, trying to fight to win the Premier League this year,” coach Pep Guardiola affirmed.

A thrilling 5-4 win over Fulham helped Man City set a record of 19 consecutive wins against this team. Coach Pep Guardiola's team reduced the gap to 2 points with Arsenal and put pressure on the "Gunners" before the match against Brentford.
