Guardiola: «It’s great that City has started the season with a trophy»
Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola expressed his delight at the victory over Manchester United in the Community Shield.
«I enjoyed the contest with our Manchester rivals throughout the season, and it’s fantastic that we have begun the new season with a trophy. We are very pleased. We often lost possession, and Manchester United is one of the best teams in the world at exploiting transition phases. They are very difficult to contain. But in the end, we managed to do that.
It’s wonderful to participate in such a match, as it signifies that you achieved something in the previous season. We can see the players coming back. Right now, our goal is not to win the Premier League but to focus on winning the next match. That’s what we need to do», Guardiola said during an interview with ITV.
Manchester City triumphed over Manchester United in the Community Shield with a score of 2-1, winning 7-6 on penalties. The match took place at Wembley Stadium in London.
