Burnley vs Man City | Pep Guardiola Post Match Press Conference | Kevin De Bruyne injury update

We discuss a lot, yeah. That's the first question of the game, is the problem. First question. Erling won the ball immediately. And Bernard decide don't give it because one game left. One minute left with 0-2. And two minutes before it was two actions. Long ball to the Mateo Kovacic. We lost it. Another for Julian. We lost it. And they make a transition. You have to defend deeper. And one minute left. You have to finish with 0-2. Nothing happened. Reflect. And go to the second half. I understand Erling because he want to pose one against one to score more goals. But in that moment, Bernard took a right decision. Erling. Yeah. Deja vu last season against Liverpool. West Ham two goals. Today two goals. Quite similar. I don't think all the teams are not ready. So... The people say now we have less preparation. It looks like I'm complaining just in case I lose. I'm not complaining. If we were a team while complaining, we wouldn't win five Premier Leagues. We wouldn't win Champions League or another one. So we are a team who accept what happened. The rules, the referees, the rules and everything we accept. But we have less preparation. And we are still away from the best form. But we have to try not to drop much points in that period with this amount of games. And this is how to do. And how you solve this lack of preparation. Personal mentality. Read what you have to do. And we were fortunate to break the game early with a goal from Erling. But after we create problems ourselves, give passes against men to men. That was not correct. But there was a moment at the 30th minute. Like Bernardo dropped, Matteo dropped, Julian dropped. And Phil dropped. And we attacked with the football outside. We made a lot, a lot, a lot of passes. And that was the key. In the second half, we read perfectly. To try to isolate Erling one against one. And play the ball to him. When we win it is a chance. If we don't win it, we have to defend. And after we make a lot, we continue to do a lot, a lot of passes. It's the position that, right now, in the condition that we have, in the way they play, we should do it. We did really well. And the first game away, and you promote it with the passion and love that they have to be back to the Premier League. Always it's so complicated, it's so tricky. And we behave. Except 10 or 15 minutes, we give away balls in difficult positions. The team, again, show heart and passion. And we still want to do it. It's hamstring again, yeah. Same position, same position. I don't know. Depends on the magnitude of the injury. But we'll be a few weeks out. But maybe it was my mistake. But when it's an injury, after 15 minutes, 20 minutes, it's not about that. It's something wrong. When you have 65, the fatigue of the muscle, you can read that. But it's 10, 15 minutes, it's something... You have to talk with the doctor, with him. You have to be relaxed. Free your mind. He'll be back, for sure. It happened. It was, I remember, one year, I think, our second Premier League, where together was a long, long time injury. So he knows a little bit that. So you have to relax. Because he came back for that position. He'll be back now. Yeah, of course, he's down because he fought a lot. He lost the final Champions League. You know, after a win, 20, 25 minutes. He felt really good. Because I spoke with him. He said, no, no, I feel perfect. And I prefer to start, you know, make 45 or 50 minutes. And that was the idea. But unfortunately, it happened. Of course, disappointed. But he's strong. And he will be back. When you play teams against men-to-men, the man free is the keeper. So that's why you have to use this alternative. And the opponents want to face one against one, against Erling or Julian. And all the spaces, all the length of the pitch, behind in the length. Okay, we accept it. If Erling is able to win that ball, it's one against one against the keeper. And with this type of quality keepers, Ede, Stefan, Elvin, Kravel, Lombo, and the quality like a striker you have with Erling or Julian, it's another weapon you have to use. He told me it was a kick. It was not a twist. It was a kick, yeah. It's fine. Romain had a concussion in the head. We were scared what would happen in the training session. So that's why the protocol has to be seven days off. And John fell with one pass, something in the abductor. And the doctor told me that he feels really good today. So it will not be long. I don't know for Sevilla, but maybe for Newcastle and the other ones. It will be already. I said last season. So Bini changed completely the way they play. Sean made magnificent for this club. Don't misunderstand me. But Bini, for a short time, we changed the mentality, the way they play, the build-ups, the pressing, the aggressiveness. And we saw last season in the Champions League, two months left, it was over. It was already promoted. It didn't improve our job. It's not an easy place to come here. I will tell you. A lot of games here, teams are going to suffer. That's why I'm really pleased. Because I know against which opponent we face. Last season in the FA Cup, we won it. But the first half, we struggled a lot. And after, Harling made the difference as well. Because against teams like me, high-pressing, men-to-men, Harling is an incredible weapon in behind. But yeah, I'm pretty sure he will do a good job. Thank you, guys.
