On September 28, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Newcastle United drew 1-1 with Manchester City at home. After the game, Manchester City’s head coach, Guardiola, shared his thoughts on the match.
About the Match
Overall, we played well. When we were leading 1-0, we had the chance to extend it to 2-0. However, this was difficult as Newcastle’s players are physically strong and they defended deeply. Despite this, we still created opportunities, but Pope was outstanding. We made some mistakes, and after being equalized, Newcastle took control of the game. Later, we regained control, and we had the chance to win the game.
About Gvardiol
In tight spaces, he performed excellively. Sometimes, in larger spaces, he encounters more problems and does not perform as well.
About Other Players’ Performances
The players performed well; Kovacic was excellent, as were Lewis and Bernardo Silva. They really did a great job. Haaland sustained some knocks during the game, and we will assess his condition tomorrow.
