According to Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, achieving victory in the Premier League or FA Cup is not a make-or-break factor to determine the success of the season for his team.
In the upcoming match against Wolves, City might begin the game four points adrift of Arsenal if the Gunners secure a win over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium in an earlier fixture.
A potential slip-up by Guardiola’s side could create an opening for Arsenal to seize the league title.
Nevertheless, Guardiola remains unwavering in his support for his players, emphasizing that the outcome of the matches will not alter his perception of their efforts.
He expressed, “The result, whether a win or a loss, will not sway my overall evaluation of the season and the commendable work put in by the team.”
Guardiola added, “Even if we secure these two coveted trophies, my perspective on the campaign and the club’s performance remains steadfast, irrespective of the titles won or missed.”
Highlighting the unique challenge ahead, Guardiola acknowledged, “We are pursuing an unprecedented feat in English football – a distinction that no other team has ever achieved. This presents us with a monumental task, one that we eagerly embrace.”
