 We take the point and until it's over, we're going to continue, Guardiola said. It's better than a loss.
|
It depends. [The title] is not in our hands. Before that game it was, and Arsenal's as well. But now, in our hands, no, Guardiola said. We have four games in the Premier League , next is Brentford, and it will be quite similar because the competitors are good, and we will see what happens...
|
The point is better than no points, but it would have been better to win the game, said Guardiola.
|
The point is better than no points, but it would have been better to win the game, said Guardiola. Many things happened - the difficulty of the opponent, the incredibly aggressive way they play.
|
It's better the point than no point, but it (would be) better to win the game that we needed, Guardiola said. I know it was in our hands and in Arsenal's hands as well, it depended on goal (difference).

I wouldn't be 10 years, even with good titles, if I didn't have an incredible environment, Guardiola said. Now I feel more, I don't know … happy, not happy, but I don't know … still have incredible energy, still I'm so good, coming here to work on my day off.
|
Goodison Park, Fulham, Selhurst Park, there are stadiums that are special and I like it, said a reflective Guardiola. I remember years ago going to one game involving Neil Warnock with my son, Marius.
|
It's incredible the numbers and the quality in the first season in the Premier League. It's something unique, said Guardiola.
|
|
It is what it is. Arsenal are in the Champions League semi-final, so it is what it is, Guardiola said of the congestion. When we won the treble, we had a similar calendar, but I learned a long time ago not to expect anything different. It can happen in other countries, but here it ...
|
|
Arsenal was so demanding emotionally, it's normal, Guardiola said. Three days later [Burnley], three days later [Southampton].
|
|
It has been a tough week, a lot of emotions, said Guardiola. I have learned in this country that a day off can make you play better. In the beginning, I trained a lot, but now, it's quality time. I need everybody ready.
|
|
They will be here for the final, don't worry about that, said Guardiola of the absentees.
|
|
Now we have the FA Cup and after that we have five games. The only chance for the title is to win all the games, Guardiola said.
|
|
It's a big opportunity to play four finals in a row, Guardiola said. Maybe we have to make some changes.
|
|
I see that game and we had to sweat and fight to beat them because they have everything, said Guardiola.
|
It can happen but you cannot be distracted, said Guardiola. If [we chase this], we'll be unbalanced and when unbalanced, we are going to concede a lot of goals.
|
The captains have been top and it's not about age, said Guardiola. A lot of [experienced] players were here last year and we were not competing good.
|
They are really experienced and have huge personalities, Guardiola said of the pair. They are not young guys anymore. They have played a lot of these types of games and know how they must be played. They were exceptional, but not just [against Arsenal].
|
Gratitude. If I talk a lot I will cry, said Guardiola.
|
We can't manage to do the win, win, win, win that we used to at this time of the season, said Guardiola.
|
What we have to do is take a lot of caipirinhas, daiquiris and enjoy life, Guardiola said. And after that, make a proper three training sessions, and go to Leeds.
|
Thirteen games, in my experience, is a lot of time, Guardiola said. When you go in the last games playing a team in the relegation battle, it's a proper football game.
|
I'm happy for him more because a striker needs goals and for his confidence it will be important, Guardiola said. Having him back is so nice.
|
Everyone would love to be in our position but it won't be easy, Guardiola said. I have the feeling it will be an Aston Villa game.
|
One of my dreams as a manager is that every player, except the goalkeeper, can play every position, Guardiola said. That means you understand the game, you have physicality to adapt to many positions and the intelligence to do it.
