Pep Guardiola: Victory Over Leicester Will \'Clean Our Minds And Souls\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Dec 30, 2024 3:18 am

Manchester City picked up a much needed Premier League victory in beating Leicester City 2-0. The victory is City\'s first in six matches and only their second in 14 in all competitions. 

“I think it is more relief than happiness, I think that’s the right word,” the manager said. “As a performance it was not the best, I couldn’t expect it, really. Leicester were better in the last 10-15 minutes of the first half, in the last 15-20 of the ­second. The game was tight. We have to improve a lot. We will improve as the results improve, that’s for sure. The best of us will come back.

“Against Everton [the 1-1 draw on Boxing Day] the performance was far better than today but today we won and that’s what we need to clean our minds and souls and see we can win games.

“I never thought it was difficult to win one single game but now we feel it. Maybe it’s good. That period helps to see what we have done, it made me reflect on how difficult it is to do what we have done.”
