How Guardiola reacted after he took his ex-right-hand man?
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that the Premier League title is "in our hands" after registering a dominant 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Etihad on the 33rd round of the English Premier League. Guardiola responded saying: “It is really important, but not decisive because there are many games to play for both sides. “The reality is we are behind Arsenal, they are two points in front of us, game by game, we will see what happens, but our fate is in our hands." "It is important that we win over our competitors. An important victory is not decisive. I may be naive, but we are still two points behind Arsenal, and this is the reality." Guardiola added. He continued: “The next three games are really important. Fulham on Sunday, what Marco Silva has done is unbelievable. After two games at home against West Ham and Leeds, these three games will dictate. “Erling is an incredible threat, in a previous season with a false nine we played very different, but his connection with Kevin is extraordinary and we tried today to use it as much as possible.
Guardiola watched his side demolish the closest challengers for this year’s Premier League title, as De Bruyne scored either side of John Stones’ goal at the end of the first half. Guardiola continued, "Rodri is a very important player for us. He is good at positioning, likes to move a lot with and without the ball, and competes for the second ball always. I think he has improved a lot."
