Guardiola s 1,000th game as manager: Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0, praising the team for their outstanding performance

In the 1,000th game of his coaching career, Guardiola led Manchester City to a 3-0 home victory over Liverpool. After the game, he spoke highly of the team's performance in an interview, and specifically praised young player Nico O'Reilly and winger Jeremy Doku.

Talk about the overall performance:

"We played very well in the first half. In the second half, they (Liverpool) stepped up their pressing and created some pressure on us.

However, in the first 5 to 10 minutes, we were a little relaxed, which gave the opponent some momentum and allowed them to gain There were one or two opportunities.

But overall, the team performed very well today - the rhythm was well controlled, the transition between offense and defense was smooth, and the defensive end was always highly focused."

Praise for Nico O'Reilly:

"

In fact, it's not just amazing! It was him, and everyone in the team performed brilliantly - don't forget, our opponent is the defending champion.

Nico's position is very flexible: sometimes we put him inside, sometimes he drops back to the 8th or 10th position.

He is very fast and efficient in set pieces and long passes. Smart and very calm in handling the ball. I think he played very well today and has maintained a high level in recent times."

Comments on Jeremy Doku:

"Listen, I know I am a good coach, but don't overestimate me (laughing)

You think. Can I teach Doku how to break through the defense?

Today he faced one of the best right backs in the Premier League, but he performed at the top level. This is entirely due to his natural talent and confidence."

Talk about tactics and defense:

"Our defensive structure is very solid. In the first half, the connection between all the players in the midfield was very smooth, and the overall operation was quite smooth."

On the milestone of the 1,000th game of coaching:

"First of all, I would like to thank all the players and the behind-the-scenes team for giving me this precious gift

to complete this in Manchester. I feel extremely proud after a thousand games.

We will take a good rest and come back with new energy.

Looking back, my experience with Barcelona B laid an important foundation for my subsequent coaching career. It was there that I first truly realized that I was capable of leading the team. I learned a lot of valuable lessons.

I will never forget the partners I played with during that season.

To reach a milestone in such an important game against Liverpool today means a lot to me. I have always had deep respect for this club."
