Pep Guardiola is adamant that he will do everything in his power to invigorate the Manchester City squad in anticipation of their arduous journey to Liverpool on Sunday.
City are in a state of disarray and are in dire need of a victory as they prepare to travel to Anfield.
They have suffered five consecutive losses and a 15-minute collapse against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, resulting in a 3-3 draw.
City would be 11 points behind the Premier League leaders and in serious trouble in the title race if they were to lose at Liverpool.
Guardiola acknowledges that his team is “fragile” psychologically. Guardiola elaborated on his strategy for motivating his dejected team for the Liverpool match, stating,
“What can you do?” Take a break for one or two days and prepare for Anfield. It is imperative that we [increase the number of participants].
That is my responsibility. We execute a commendable game; however, we were unable to regulate the final minutes.
“At that time, we did not engage in a conversation in its entirety.
The situation is well-known; I am not required to provide any additional information. We will train tomorrow, recover, and prepare for the upcoming contest.
Take a day off, and we will have two or three days to prepare and execute the plan.We will acquire knowledge for the future, and the past is the past. This season will be challenging for us, and we must expect it due to a variety of factors.
Regrettably, the game was executed exceptionally well today, and we were unable to retribute at the appropriate time. Despite the team’s unwavering dedication to numerous endeavours, we are currently unable to withstand the circumstances.
“We must endeavour to prevent those errors.” He further stated, “We perform all tasks and subsequently relinquish them, particularly the initial one, when we are no longer capable of doing so.”
It is not a matter of not running or not committing; rather, football necessitates that you be “on” at specific instances.
