Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his team’s recent string of defeats and ties has provided a much-needed reality check.
Guardiola stated in a press conference that he and his players had been stroked “like a cat” for far too long following their recent treble win and that it was time they were shaken.
His comments come after Manchester City lost 1-0 to Aston Villa on Wednesday, December 6, dropping them to fourth place in the Premier League table and putting them in danger of missing out on the UEFA Champions League.
“The club needed it,” Guardiola said. I thought the club needed a shake, to be shaken, about a month ago. The bad outcomes can help you live that.
