Pep Guardiola’s 111 Record Victory from 150 Premier League Games

DBasia.news – Manchester City achieved their first win after being free from UEFA sanctions on Week 36 of the Premier League against Bournemouth at Etihad Stadium, Thursday (16/07) AM . The Citizens won by a score of 2-1.

Two goals from David Silva (6 ‘) and Gabriel Jesus (39’) were reduced by David Brooks in the 88th minute. Pep Guardiola rotated his squad and the team continued to dominate possession 78 percent with a total of seven kicks – three on target.

There was no change from Man City’s position which remained in second place with a collection of 75 points, but Bournemouth were still vulnerable to relegation. The Cherries are 18th in the standings with 31 points adrift of three points with Watford in 17th place.

City’s victory became their positive capital to look at the remaining matches against Arsenal (7/19), Watford (7/22), Norwich City (7/26), and Real Madrid (08/08). Not only that, Pep Guardiola also carved special records.

According to Opta, Pep Guardiola has won 111 victories in the 150th match of the Premier League. It was the highest amount to beat other top names such as Jose Mourinho (105 wins), Jurgen Klopp (92 wins), Sir Alex Ferguson (90 wins), and Sir Kenny Dalglish (85 wins).

Pep Guardiola has been training Man City since 2016 to replace Manuel Pellegrini. During his four-year career in England the Spanish manager has presented two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups.

Despite winning, Guardiola’s winning record still highlights his team’s deficiencies when defending, especially when faced with pressing opponents.

“That was a challenging match, they (Bournemouth) played well. We could not control them. We started well in 10-15 minutes of the second half, but then it was difficult to build attacks, we had difficulty and their high pressure was great, “Guardiola said in the Manchester Evening News.

“Their needs are high to survive in the Premier League. We played some good moments but we know that. The same thing will happen against Watford, maybe they also play like that,” he explained.
