Guardiola: We make mistakes in simple ball handling and must learn to deal with high pressure

In August 23, in the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City lost to Tottenham 0-2 at home. After the game, Manchester City coach Guardiola accepted an interview with the media.

Overall view of the game

"I feel that the game is a little better than the result, and we started well. Conceding the ball is possible. But we made mistakes in handling simple balls, and with the personal abilities we have, we couldn't handle simple balls well. That's why the game became difficult in the offense and defense transition, and when they scored the second goal in the end of the first half."

"We needed a goal, we had a chance, Bob didn't give that penalty, and after that, Haaland and Sherkey had a chance. We created opportunities , but the response to people-to-people and oppression is not good enough. We knew this a long time ago because Frank's team played this way. We had to attract opponents and organize the attack in a different way than usual. The offensive third zone was actually good, and we controlled the offense and defense transition. But the result was not ideal. The season was still long, and we would learn from it. "

Tottenham's lead lacks control

" This happened from time to time against Tottenham. They could always punish us with one attack. But even so, before and after conceding the ball They all seem dull and have made simple pass mistakes many times. Because their formation is so compact, our backcourt organization has not opened up. We divide the ball more to the wings and try to attack from there. Many teams like high-level pressure, and we must learn to deal with it. "

Transfer Market

" still needs to be observed. We still have a week to communicate with the club. We will talk to players and agents. Let's see the situation at that time. "

Whether it is difficult due to the team's own performance?" Speaking of the second conced This is true. We have discussed that when facing high-level pressure, we must change the way the backcourt is organized. After that, we performed well after retreating the formation. I know their physical advantages. We are very close to success in the offense and defense conversion. But the simple ball is too poor and a large amount of ball rights are easily lost. "

Whether the team is still in the running-in period and the early stage of the season

" We did a lot of right things at this stage, but we need to adjust the lineup structure and wait for the transfer window to end. We need to clarify the final number of players before we can evaluate the situation."
