Guardiola: 'Step by Step, We'll Find Solutions'

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, spoke candidly after his team’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. Guardiola acknowledged the club’s ongoing challenges, including injuries and a lack of squad depth, but remained optimistic about finding solutions.

"We’ll find the way to overcome this crisis," Guardiola stated. "The first step is to get our injured players back. With a full squad, we can create the necessary changes and improvements."

City’s struggles have been evident, with nine losses in their last twelve matches. Despite these setbacks, Guardiola highlighted his unwavering belief in his players. "I trust these players deeply," he said. "They are proud of their team and motivated to turn things around. We’ll take it step by step, and we’ll be back."

When asked about tactical changes, Guardiola pointed out the limitations due to injuries. "Right now, I don’t have enough players to make tactical substitutions to boost creativity. That’s why getting everyone back is so critical."

Guardiola’s message was clear: patience, focus, and trust in his squad will be key to navigating this challenging period.
