"Many factors at play." Guardiola on Manchester City's poor results
Manchester City continues to endure one of the most challenging crises in its modern history. Today, the "Sky Blues" suffered another defeat, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa in the Premier League.
After the match, City head coach Pep Guardiola once again addressed the reasons behind his team's poor performances.
Quote. "We played very well in the first half, but in the second half, we slowed down and weren't good enough.
Can we improve our results? It could happen, or it might not. It depends on us. The solution is to get our injured players back. We only have one central defender right now, which makes things difficult.
Are injuries the only reason for the poor results? Of course not. There are more reasons. We're conceding goals we didn't concede before, and we're not scoring goals we used to. Football is only part of it. There are many small factors at play.
Last season, we won the Premier League, but we came here and lost. We have to think positively, and I have incredible trust in the players. Some of them have incredible pride and desire to make it happen. We need to find a way, step by step, sooner or later, to get back on track," Guardiola told BBC Sport.
Reminder. Following today's match, Guardiola's team has dropped to sixth place in the Premier League standings.
