Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes his team has “recovered many things” after a trophyless season, showcasing a renewed spirit in recent weeks. Following a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Guardiola expressed pride in his team’s fight, highlighting their ability to adapt and improve. The City boss emphasized the importance of celebrating a point against a strong team like Arsenal, demonstrating his appreciation for the opponent’s quality.
Guardiola’s comments come after a significant overhaul of the squad, with key players like Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, and Ederson departing. Despite these changes, he sees potential for growth and development in his new players. Notably, he praised Abdukodir Khusanov, a 21-year-old Uzbekistan international defender, predicting a long and successful career for him at Manchester City.
The team’s current ninth-place position in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Liverpool, doesn’t seem to faze Guardiola. Instead, he focuses on the progress made and the spirit shown by his players. Ahead of their League Cup clash with Huddersfield, Guardiola’s confidence in his team’s abilities remains high, reflecting his optimism about their prospects.
