The Manchester City started the season 2018-19 like a shot, but with the arrival of December, have him atragantado some commitments of the calendar. The English group has showed some weaknesses in the Premier League, where three defeats in the last month have moved him away of the leadership. In the previous of a decisive clash for the title, has arrived an important reflection of the preparador of the 'sky blues'.
And it is that after reencontrarse with the victory against the Southampton, Pep Guardiola spoke of the crossing against the Liverpool, that next Thursday day 3 January will put face to face to the two greater applicants in the Etihad Stadium. The 'reds' occupy the first place of the classification with 54 points in 20 days, followed of some 'citizens' that have 47 and face an authentic final.
After the triumph in the St Mary's Stadium, the one of Santpedor was very clear: "Win is very important. They come to our stadium, is almost a final for us. We want to struggle by the Premier League until the last moment". "What a trainer wants to is to see react to his team. And they have done it because they are incredible. I do not need to win to know it. In front of the Liverpool are something more than three points because it treats of the leader and are in a moment of incredible form. But we want to follow like this, we have to win the party", added.
In spite of everything, removed something of iron to the meeting affirming that, whatever happens, still there will be margin of reaction for both squares, that will litigate in the next months for finish in the highest of the table: "it says that we are out of the fight for having lost the two last parties. That we are candidates if we win to the Liverpool... The only reality is that they remain a lot of parties".
To finish, this yes, launched a warning to his, recognising that the opponent to the that will measure in some days is dangerous by the moment so that it crosses. There is not place for confidences. "The problem is that the another team is fantastic, perhaps the best of Europe or of the world and to tope ofform , all what can do we is to carry out our work, play our parties and see which raisin", resolved the Catalan.
For Guardiola, the Liverpool is clear favourite in Champions?
Attending to the words of Guardiola, the Liverpool no only is the big favourite to conquer the Premier, but also the Champions. It is clear that the season is long and that remain a lot of months by in front, but as it aims the ex of the FC Barcelona, the performance of the ones of Jürgen Klopp has planted them, for the moment, above the rest of candidates to raise the 'orejona'.
It will be necessary to see if, precisely, the group that moved them away of the final in the past course, keeps the rhythm until it finish the campaign, what would approach to the decisive appointment that on 1 June 2019 will take place in Wanda Metropolitan. It does less than a year, the bad fortune moved him away of a trophy that went for the Real Madrid, but in east, the 'reds' could go back to reach the glory.
