Pep Guardiola candidly admitted that the current season for Manchester City has been a failure. Even with a potential victory in the FA Cup or qualification for the Champions League, the Spaniard believes that their results in the Premier League, where the team trails the leader by 22 points, offer no cause for satisfaction.
"This season? Really bad. Opponents never paved a red carpet for us to win the titles we've claimed in the past. It was my duty to handle the situation much better than I did. Of course, reaching the FA Cup final and winning it, as well as qualifying for the Champions League, would be a great success, but the season has been unsuccessful, and the situation won't change," BBC quotes him saying.
His self-criticism is more of an attempt to take responsibility for the failures, which is perhaps typical for a coach like Guardiola. Thus, ahead of the crucial stretch of the season, the specialist is trying to alleviate the pressure on his players and take the hit himself.
