Guardiola believes the players' quality can help the team

The "Blue Moon" Manchester City will face the "Blue Lions" Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium in the latest round of the Premier League. Coach Guardiola said at the press conference that he has always believed in the strength of the players and insisted that their abilities are better than the outside world imagined.

In the last round of the league, Manchester City relied on Foden, Kovacic, Doku, Haaland and James McCarty to score and finally beat Ipswich 6-0. After achieving an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 2 draws in the past 5 rounds, Manchester City is currently ranked 5th in the standings with 38 points, 2 points behind Chelsea in 4th place.

Unfortunately, in the seventh round of the Champions League, although Manchester City took the lead with goals from Grealish and Haaland, they kept losing the ball and eventually lost 2-4 to Paris Saint-Germain. Manchester City is currently ranked 25th in the Champions League standings with 8 points, which means Guardiola's team must beat Club Brugge in the next round to enter the play-offs.

Manchester City coach Guardiola said in an interview, "I never doubt these players. I know that all clubs in the world will encounter injury problems. This is inevitable. I didn't think we would experience such a situation in the Champions League, but I don't think we can't enter the top 24, but Bruges is also a strong team."

"Things can change, but we still have the initiative and we still have a chance. I'm not stupid, I know our standards very well. We studied the skills, and this group of players is better than you think. I still believe we are a good team, these guys have shown what they can do in the last eight or nine years. Every time the results of the game change, does my opinion change? Absolutely not."

Guardiola continued, "Have we recovered to our best form after the games against Ipswich and Leicester? It takes time. But by next season, we will be back to where we should be. But now we need to survive and advance, but also realize how remarkable our achievements in the past are. This makes me realize how extraordinary everything we have done is."

"We need to be realistic but never forget who we are and how good we are. We need our fans more than ever and they have to support us. It will be very difficult in this game and the next one, and every game after that."
