Manchester: Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday he received the Heritage Hinges of Manchester City at whether he could give the Champions League glory for the club after they fell on the last hurdle last season.
Premier League champions start their campaign against the Bundesliga side of Leipzig RB on Wednesday, less than four months after their 1-0 defeat that was painful with Chelsea.
But Guardiola said he would not think of the opportunities missing in the Porto Champions League final – the first city – and that it would be a mistake to consider last season’s European campaign as a failure.
“Every season is different,” he said at his pre-match press conference.
“We made a remarkable tournament last season but now we started a new one.” People can say City is a failure but it was an extraordinary achievement last season, playing very well in many games and lost against major competitors, “he added.
City boss, 50, has learned to live with a perception that he needs to win the league Champions to be judged by success at the club, although he has brought them to three other Premier League titles and other silver.
“Receive it,” Guardiola said, who lifted the Champions League trophy as Barcelona manager in 2009 and 2011 but had not won it because of his spell in Bayern Munich and City.
” Every year is the same.
If I win the Champions League I will be happy for the club.
If I can’t do it, I can’t.
“After that, you can assess my menstruation success.” The Spanish midfielder Rodri said the city team did not regret during last season last season in the top European club competition, adding players to be determined to go better this season “we do not regret it,” he said.
“We will learn from this experience.” The Champions League was decided by a little difference.
We have to build another building – a large building – this season to reach the Champions League.
