Spaniard Pep Guardiola, coach Manchester City, recognized the difficulties of excluding matches, emphasizing that small details and counterattacks were the reason for the loss of his team against the Saudi crescent and his exit from the World Cup for clubs that are currently being held in the United States of America, praising the Al -Zhila team and what he represented in the match.
Guardiola said to the press conference after the match: “The knockout is difficult in it,” Guardiola told the press conference after the match. We allowed them to counterattack, created opportunities and regret this result. Our players were magnificent, and I thank all players and technical teams for introducing them. They created great opportunities, but we also created opportunities, and I have nothing to say. “
Manchester City coach praised the performance of Al Hilala, saying: “The crescent performance was great in counterattacks, as well as their protection, and we had to answer a lot.”
He noted that the level of the tournament was high, saying: “The level of the World Cup is very high, I will look at the match again and find out the reason why players run more in counterattacks instead of quickly getting the ball.”
“Puno saved a lot of balls, but this should be recorded and accurate in resolving opportunities,” continued Guardiola. In the apostates, they arrived more than us.
Guardiola praised the quality of Al -Gilala players, saying: “I think that Al Hilal is not only running, they have skills, and we have many players. We have created many opportunities, but the full team works like a mass. ”
He confirmed that he had a good impression of Al -HiLALL before the match: “I had a positive opinion about Al -HiLALA, and I said this before the match. We played a great match and gave us success today. ”
About the abilities of Al -Hill Savic Player, Guardiola explained: “He is an excellent, wonderful and physically powerful player, with high balls and perfectly passes. They attacked well and pressed us. We saw Savic transformed the ball, and the problem was when we lost the ball. ”
At the end of his statements, Guardiola wished success to all teams, saying: “I wish the best of this tournament for everyone.”
