Guardiola urges players to remain focused during winning run

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has urged his players not to rest on their laurels, despite their excellent winning run.

City have won straight seven Premier League games and are unbeaten in 18 across all competitions and currently sit top of the EPL log with a game in hand.

“We have the feeling we are getting better. We are more comfortable; we control more aspects than in some games earlier in the season, when players weren’t fit or had Covid,” Guardiola told City’s official website.

“But we are back and getting better – but football is always changing so you cannot think it is done. 

“Football is little details that can be destroyed. Don’t be disappointed when results are not going well because the situation is weird. And when it is going well, be calm and think about the next game.”

Manchester City’s next Premier League game is against rejuvenated Sheffield United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
