Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has said that his team
thrashed Liverpool 4-1 in the Premier League on Sunday evening at Anfield
because his players started really well and adjusted their set up in the second
half.
Guardiola also singled out Phil Foden as a ‘huge talent,’
adding that the 20-year-old kept the ball really well and was aggressive against
Liverpool.
A brace from Ikay Gundogan and a strike each from Raheem
Sterling and Phil Foden gave Guardiola’s side all three points against
Liverpool.
“We played in the way you have to suffer here. Hopefully next time we can win here with people,” Guardiola told Sky Sports.
“Anfield is always impressive but with people it is much
more.
“Huge victory for us. 3 more points at the end but I take
into consideration the fact we won after we missed a penalty and conceded a
goal but the way we reacted… that made the difference.
“We started really well. We can’t play like they play, we’ve
to play in a slow rhythm. Second half we adjusted our set up and the quality of
the players did the rest.
He added, “Phil Foden is a guy who keeps the ball really
well, he arrives so aggressive but he is also still so young. When he plays
wide it is more easy for him, he will learn.
“The action for the second goal and the fourth goal, we know
what a huge talent he is but he is still young and hopefully he can understand
he can still improve.
“It is an important win but it is February. Of course the
gap to fifth is big right now and that means for the Champions League for next
season is important but 10 wins in a row in this period is something
exceptional.
“Today is the time to talk about this but tomorrow we look
to the next game.”
