Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has pointed out the problem of his team playing too slowly, which caused them to be unable to break through the strong opponents’ defense in the game away to Nottingham Forest 1-0. The

“Sky Blues” had more ball possession but could not produce goals. In the 83rd minute, “Foresters” scored the decisive goal of the game when Callum Hudson-Odoi shot from a tight angle past Ederson.

“It was a close game until the end. We found it difficult to create chances. And We have to give credit to the opponents because Forest defended very well,สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน ” Guardiola said after the defeat at the City Ground.

“We controlled the main danger of the opponents, which was the long ball to Chris Wood. And We kept the second ball and changed defense to attack well.

“Everyone connected very well, but our game was a bit too slow in the final third. And when we got into the final third, we couldn’t create the finishing chances. “

To break down the opponents’ defense, you have to move the ball left and right quickly. Today we couldn’t do it as quickly as we should have. “

We know that every season in the Premier League, it gets harder. We have 10 finals to go. The Champions League, we have to win as many games as possible, it’s not going to fall from the sky, we have to do something, we move on to the next game.”

Pep was also asked if Ederson should have saved the opponent’s shot: “I never blame any player, I like to give praise. I have nothing more to say than it was a good moment from Hudson-Odoi.”
