DBasia.news – Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has insisted his team will not rest their first team in the Champions League, although the next match will be an away game to Anfield.
City are now ranked second in the standings with a collection of 25 points and six points behind Liverpool who are still firmly on the throne.
This weekend, City have the opportunity to cut the distance with Liverpool when they travel to Anfield Stadium, Sunday (11/10) PM. However, before the fight, they must first head to Atalanta headquarters in the Champions League.
“Do you think we can win four titles in one season if we prioritize the match? “We will play with the best team to win at Atalanta and after that go to Anfield,” Guardiola said at Soccerway.
“Nobody can convince me that if we don’t do what we have to do at Atalanta, then we will make a better performance against Liverpool.”
“The best way to face Atalanta is the way we play against Southampton and the best way to head to Anfield is to play a good game against Atalanta, who has fought with the top clubs in Italy for the past two or three seasons. That’s the point. “
“They can score
four, five six goals per game so we will play with what we believe to be the
best team considering regeneration, opponents and the way they play, to make a
good performance and qualify for the next stage in the Champions League,”
Guardiola added.
