Guardiola: 'You compete to win' ahead of FA Cup semi-final vs Chelsea

Good afternoon guys, hope you well. Same process as ever, mics on either side if you can raise your hand. Welcome to as many of you as we can. Embargo Pkwy through for 10:30 this evening so you feel that the players are ready to to go out there and you know, willing to try to put right what went wrong. We don’t have another option. I don’t want to feel sorry for ourselves. In football you lose games. So we perform on our best we could or not able to win. So what next? So we we don’t have time to reflect. We reflect in summertime what happened during all the season. So in football is you win, you compete to win. That’s would have done. But sometimes you win sometimes most of the times. But lately in this club didn’t happen in years, but sometimes you lose games so and is there what happened? And just on the players who came off Erling, Kevin and Nanny, how are they? Kevin Finzwell, Erling, who is it? Hi, following up on Erling, you said you will see how is this condition. We’ll see. Was there any problems before he asked to to come off? Yeah, absolutely. Was a tough game, 120 minutes, a lot of action, high intensity for both sides. And Erling felt something a muscular issue and that’s why he asked me. I could not continue and and Kevin the last minute as well. Felt exhausted, so tired and after what happened five months injured. So that is normal, but we’ll see it tomorrow. And last question, can you say a little bit more about the muscular ratio that Erling experienced for Erling, yes, I, I don’t know, not the doctor. What does the doctor say then I said, yeah, miss a little bit niggles have a little bit problem and we’ll see how is evolution in the next hours. Just just following up on on that, I suppose with Manchester City playing so many big games, not just this season of the last few years, is it a concern when two most influential players can’t finish the 120 minutes in a in a big, big game and when players like Roderick come out and say they’re tired? It’s normal. The amount of games we are playing this season and the previous seasons and the the, the not much recovery and, and extra time and a high intensity. The way we played, we put a lot of pressure and in our game. And that’s why the fatigue is there. They are human beings. So they are not a machine. So they are human beings. Sometimes the fatigue is there and so and you have to accept it. So we’re good. Yeah, good enough. No, because you are good. A little bit better. We can win. We don’t win in this business. Who wins is right and if he doesn’t win, he’s wrong. So last season we won we were right. This isn’t they won they’re right. So don’t make another analysis so we can see oh what would happen if that would ever if that if that did doesn’t count don’t count in that level you have to win. We will did everything. We know it. They know it all, they will know it, but it was not enough. And when it’s not an office by night, congratulate them. That we have done thousand, million times and and tomorrow a fair cup.
