Guardiola talks about chasing Arsenal?

After Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 3-1 (Cantonese translation: Bournemouth) on Sunday local time, Manchester City was able to temporarily rush to the second position in the Premier League standings. Head coach Guardiola laughed after the game that he most wanted to see top-ranking Arsenal concede a goal.

Even though Manchester City is currently ranked second in the Premier League standings, there is still a 6-point gap with Arsenal, and the opponent has not conceded a goal in 7 games in all competitions in the Premier League. Therefore, Guardiola (Pep Guardiola said after the game: "I hope that one day Arsenal will also concede a goal. They are currently in a wonderful moment, and we have experienced this kind of moment in the past season. But now we have only played 10 rounds, and there are 28 rounds left. Many things can happen, and the team will continue to improve."

Manchester City conceded another goal in this game, but there was controversy because of a goal scored by Adams. It was suspected that a Bournemouth player was blocking Manchester City goalkeeper Donnarumma from going out to attack. Guardiola blasted the referee Anthony Taylor: "This decision The penalty was incredible. I have been here for 10 years and we (and the referee) know each other very well. When I saw him after the game, I told him to tell me whether it was a foul and I will wait for his answer... They referees are always brave at the Etihad Stadium."

Talking about Harland, who scored two goals again in this game, Guardiola believes that the forward is now as reliable and efficient as Messi and Ronaldo at their peak, especially in terms of statistics, and has reached the level of "Messi and Ronaldo": "I have said many times that he is very easy to be coached, and sometimes I am very strict with him. I always try to keep an open mind towards him, but he is very down-to-earth, eager to succeed, and born to score goals."
