Not winning is not enough. “Pep” revealed the latest bad news for “Manchester City” after they went three pre-season games without a win.

The Premier League is about to start, and Pep revealed the latest bad news: Manchester City suffered more losses than in the three pre-season warm-up matches and still did not win.

On July 31, 2024, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola lost 1-4 to La Liga giants Barcelona in the third match of the pre-season warm-up in the United States after a 2-2 draw. Penalty.

As a result, Manchester City has yet to win all three warm-up matches before the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season, after losing 3-4 to Glasgow Celtic and 2-3 to AC Milan.

However, Manchester City is facing serious problems. The talented striker Erling Haaland has been substituted after the first half of the past two games. Guardiola revealed the reason: “Erling Monkey doesn’t look good. We don’t want to take this risk.”

“But sooner or later he will have to take the next step in training and increase playing time. The season is coming. It’s getting closer. He has had minor symptoms in his muscles. We don’t want to risk losing him for three weeks or a month, which would be a problem.”

City have one more pre-season tour in the United States, where they will face Chelsea on August 3, then face Manchester United in the Community Shield on August 10 before they face Chelsea in the 2024-25 Premier League on August 18.
