“Yes, the Premier League is the most difficult league in my coaching career because of the quality of my opponents.”
Xinhua News Agency, London, May 5th, Premier League Manchester City coach Guadiola said on the 5th that the most intense championship competition in his coaching career came from the Premier League because of a strong opponent like Liverpool, this season Manchester City is very close to the record of winning the championship last season, which is his most satisfactory thing.
Manchester City currently has 92 points left in two rounds of the league, which is 2 points less than the Liverpool team with one more match. If the last two rounds can beat Leicester and Brighton in a row, the title will be successfully defended with 98 points, and this score is only 2 points lower than the 100-point championship record last season.
Since England’s top professional football league was changed to three points in 1981, only one team has scored more than 95 points in 38 games in a single season, which is Manchester City last season. It is very likely that Liverpool and Manchester City will eventually score more than 95 points this season.
“Yes, the Premier League is the most difficult league in my coaching career because of the quality of my opponents.” Guadiola, who once coached in Barcelona and Bayern Munich, said, “Therefore, it is incredible that Manchester City can achieve the present results. When you get 100 points, everyone thinks we can’t do it again next season, but the actual situation is the opposite. At present, 92 points have been accumulated in the case of two games left, plus 100 points last season. This is my most satisfactory result as a coach.”
Guadiola said that the Liverpool led by Klopp and Barcelona led by Enrick in 2016 were the two strongest teams he met after he became a coach. “in my coaching career, we have met some incredible teams, and two of them are amazing ‘. One is Barcelona with Enrick, which owns both Macy, Neymar and Suarez, and the other is Liverpool now.”
