EPL: Why I haven’t spoken to my players about winning Premier League title – Pep Guardiola

 

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed that he is not nervous ahead of their final-game title decider at Brighton.

The Spaniad said he has not spoken for two or three days about the Premier League (title) with his players, what would happen if they lose, or even about celebrations if they win.

He said the only thing he told his players was to go out there and win the game against Brighton.

A win for City at the Amex Stadium on Sunday means that they will be crowned the Premier League Champions regardless of the result at Anfield where Liverpool will take on Wolves.

But any slip-up by Guardiola’s men could allow the Reds, who trail by just a point, to claim the title if they beat Wolves.

It should ordinarily be a potential nerve-jangling end to the season but Guardiola said he is relishing the situation and is not as apprehensive.

Four-Four-Two quoted Guardiola as saying, “I am so happy – no nerves at all. I was nervous before Liverpool, seven points behind, and we could have been 10 points behind.

“It was, ‘Ah, it will be so difficult’. But not now, no way. I sleep like a little boy. It is a dream, a privilege, I love it.

“I would say that I don’t have to say anything to motivate (the players). I think my speech will be zero.

“They want to win the Premier League. What I saw in the training sessions – they want to win it. We are going to go out there at Brighton at 3 o’clock to win the game.

“We have not spoken for two or three days about the Premier League (title) or back-to-back, or what happens if we lose, about celebrations if we win, zero.

“It is just about Brighton, how they defend, their strengths and weak points, what we have to do.

“And on Sunday, ‘Guys, go out and play’. That is all.”
