In the middle, League Cup, Community Shield Y FA Cup. Whatever he wins in England, he wins. But, there was always one, he didn’t cover anything he played outside the UK.
In his fourth Premier, Guardiola surpassed the three occupied by the Portuguese Jose Mourinho sa Chelsea and the same amount of French Arsene Wenger within Arsenal to be the foreign coach with more English leagues obtained.
“If we’ve achieved four titles in five years, it’s because these kids are special. The win at home, with our fans, was the best. (Aston) Villa gave it their all, but when found we goal, everything changed “, was Guardiola’s first test at the end of the 3-2 victory that gave him a new title after beating by one point Liverpoolhis main persecutor in time and shadow in recent years.
“I have never seen a rival as tough as Liverpool. They have helped us to be better every season,” he praises, without hesitation. Previously, he chose the subtlety of his definitions to show his annoyance with the likes of the press rather than networks.

The fact of not getting the important Champions League title, allows some to consider that the Catalan coach cycle is branded failure. “People say that because this team has never been able to win the Champions League it’s a failure. I don’t agree at all, but I respectGuardiola replied.
“I know people here are obsessed with the Champions League. The day we win, I’m convinced that then they’ll say thank you for all the money we spent, not thank you for our work,” he added.
Is there a Guardiola moment? When asked about the possibility of extending his contract with City, which will end in June 2023, Guardiola admitted he did not have “the strength to think about next season” and all he would do was “play golf”. Let’s rest, Pep.
