Pep Guardiola has seen Manchester City acting like a ‘big team’ in the last six weeks as their hunt for multiple trophies continues.
Pep Guardiola said: “I don’t care how well the players play if it’s 3-0 or if we are playing good. We try and play and train and talk and videos and whatever to try to play maximum at 100 per cent, but sometimes most of that doesn’t happen. How you react in the bad moments, this is what the big teams do. This is what I want to see. The reaction in Southampton was exceptional. When I say how good it was I do it because I give value to the opponents, and Southampton is a top side and Fulham is and I know how hard it is to play against them. For me it’s sometimes more important than winning 4 or 5 or 6-0. It’s how we react in the bad moments in 90 minutes. This is a lesson we learn for 90 minutes because against adversity you don’t get what you deserve. It’s not a problem. In the next game it’s the same. One day when you fight against adversity you will get what you deserve but I want to win because when I deserve to. I want to win always of course but I want to win when we deserve it and for that you have to do it better and better and in the bad moments show resilience and be there. In the last two games I have no complaints because Fulham can create incredible chances and we are able to do what we have done. I am very pleased.”
