MANCHESTER (Dagbladet): For several months, Guardiola has said he would prefer to be in the Arsenal position – as Premier League captain.
He did not see the advantage of being second and falling behind. This is despite the fact that City are constantly taking the lead, and Arsenal seem to be nervous.
Now Guardiola turns around.
He’d rather be second in the table – with a chance of beating two games less – than top.
The reason: Now Citi has everything in its hands. This is the result of the 4-1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday.
– Guardiola announced in a press conference in Manchester, that our position is definitely the one I prefer now.
An angry Haaland backs off
Arsenal have 75 points and five matches remain in the English Premier League. Manchester City has 73 points and seven matches remaining.
There is no mechanism in the city that goes away. The two extra points that Arsenal have today must be collected.
But as long as it is now up to the team itself, that is what Guardiola would prefer.
Until today, I was the best position that Arsenal had. But fate is now in our hands, notes the president of Etihad Airways.
– I have a feeling that the next three matches will impose a lot. We have Fulham on Sunday. Guardiola says what Marco Silva has done this season – after the club came out of the Championship – is unbelievable.
Takeoff: – Disrespect
– Then we have two home matches (West Ham and Leeds). I wouldn’t expect, because it’s not healthy. But we were comfortable at home this season with our fans. I think the next three matches will be important. The most important thing is that our fate is in our hands.
