Guardiola recognizes the city players who are still angry at Monaco with clouds and Food returns to the leadership of England

Pep Guardiola revealed that Manchester City players are still smoking after being deprived of victory over Monaco in the middle of the week.

The Premier League team was held in a Champions League match after Eric Deer was subjected to the box before turning in the last minutes, which led to a good start to the European campaign in the city.

He left Erling Haland in the media after the match, claiming that he and his colleagues were “stopped”, and that the accommodation level “is not good enough.”

Guardiola, speaking before the city’s trip to Brentord, supported his players in this regard.

He said: “We were all (upset). We want to win, but we were not able to do that. We have done a lot of good things.

“There was those that we could do better. This is a natural type of process. I had a feeling but I know. We’ll look at technology and work on it. Not a problem, I would like to say.

“I love when they are so (frustrated). But my feeling about the team when it’s bad, in front of you I do not like the expression. I like to get with me and with my team and my players on the basement. They do not like to share it here.”

“Rodri cannot play in certain moments, we need Nico.”

Fuuden will return

Guardiola was also asked to do the absence of Phil Voden from the England band in the upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia.

The Internetal has recently raised the rich vein, but it was ignored by coach Thomas Tuchille and continues to form his team for the World Cup next year.

But Guardiola was not concerned about his striker, claiming that he would return to three black, fold sooner and not later.

He added: “Thomas (Tuchil) knows what he needs for the national team a thousand times, a million times, trillion times better than me.

“All I can say if an elephant continues to play as he plays, it will return.”

“I am happy that the players go to the national team, but I am happier when they return in good health, and this is certain.

“Our best player in small spaces in the last third, to a large extent. How to attack and his desire to score a goal, he is our best.”
