Pep Guardiola Highlights Two Players After Man City’s Late Collapse

Manchester: So, Pep Guardiola had a lot to say after Manchester City let a two-goal lead slip against Brentford. He really highlighted Josko Gvardiol and Stefan Ortega, even though they were part of the late collapse.

Phil Foden got City off to a great start, putting them 2-0 up. It looked like they were cruising to their fourth win in a row. But then, out of nowhere, Brentford struck back. Yoane Wissa found himself all alone in the box, and that was the start of the trouble. Then, in injury time, Christian Norgaard scored with a powerful header, leaving City players heartbroken.

After the match, Guardiola was seen chatting with Gvardiol and Ortega, and while he seemed to be giving them a bit of a talking-to, he also praised their overall contributions. He said Gvardiol played an incredible game and was really happy with both players.

Guardiola acknowledged the disappointment of dropping points but pointed out that they were missing key defenders like Ruben Dias and John Stones. He mentioned that they just didn’t have the right players to deal with the aerial threats from Brentford.

In the end, he expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, even if they were sad about not securing the win. Sometimes, that’s just how it goes in football.
