England – Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola believes that his team stands two steps away from making history when it visits Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, Tuesday, in a match that may largely determine the identity of the English Premier League champion.
Man City is seeking to win the English Premier League title for the fourth time in a row, an unprecedented achievement in the English Premier League.
Man City is one point behind leaders Arsenal, but it has a game in hand and can seize the lead if it wins over Tottenham tomorrow, Tuesday, before facing West Ham in the final round of 38. If it wins over the latter, City will win the championship in its favor, regardless of the result of Arsenal, which hosts. Everton.
Manchester City players scored 28 goals in the last 7 matches in the English Premier League, conceding only five goals.
The Man City coach commented on this matter, saying, “Scoring 15 goals (in four matches) is good. This led to us being in this situation, but it does not give you anything extra for tomorrow’s match when it starts.”
He added, “The equation is simple. If we do not emerge victorious from tomorrow’s match, we will not win the title, and therefore this is what we have to do.”
Man City did not win any league match at the new Tottenham stadium, which opened in 2019, and did not even score a goal.
Guardiola said that despite his team’s poor record at Tottenham, his team played well there “several times.”
He added, “But in order to achieve something in this country that has never been done before, you have to do something special and exceptional.”
He continued, “This has never happened in the English Premier League (winning the league title four times in a row). We have to do it this time. History is before us and we must accept that we did not do so. “It’s the right time to do it, otherwise Arsenal will be the champion.”
The Spanish coach noted, “Difficulties exist, but at the same time we know what we are playing for. It is up to us to give ourselves the opportunity to play the last match on our home soil with things in our hands.”
Guardiola said that he has “great respect” for Tottenham coach, Australian Ange Postecoglou, whose team still has a slim chance of securing qualification to the Champions League next season, although Aston Villa’s victory over Liverpool on Monday evening will eliminate those hopes.
