Bernardo Silva believes City has an advantage over Liverpool — Bildbyran

A home advantage could be beneficial for Pep Guardiola’s side when they take on Liverpool on Sunday.

The Reds have maintained a strong form in the Premier League despite a humiliating 7-2 loss against Aston Villa a month back.

City on the other hand had a bumpy start to the Premier League with a series of injuries that led to an array of inconsistent results.

Man City are currently five points behind champions Liverpool and they can increase the lead to eight points if City fails to secure the three points at home.

“We expect a very tough match against Liverpool, we know how strong and solid they are, one of the best teams in the world,” the Portuguese said.

“They are also a direct rival for the Premier League title, so we know how difficult it will be, but like in every game our aim is to win.

“We are also playing at home, which should have a positive influence. We need these three points in order to pursue our place at the top of the table.

“The true is that our last encounters with Liverpool at the Etihad were positive for us. Since I have joined City, we won all our games against Liverpool at home in the Premier League, but these games are always unpredictable.

“We’ll do everything to keep winning and to win on Sunday. We know it will not be easy, but we will do everything we can.”

Cancelo and Bernardo Silva reveal truth behind Liverpool clash — Bildbyran

Manchester City stars Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo has revealed the truth behind the high-temper clashes against Liverpool!

Cancelo was in an honest mood when asked about Liverpool.

“I’m excepting a very tight match against Liverpool. Both teams are very solid, but I hope we will win, which is very important to us. We know how strong Liverpool is and they will bring a lot of pressure and with fantastic players”, said the defender.

Cancelo continued, “We also have an amazing team and great players, so I am sure it will be a very a good match with a lot of intensity. I believe we can do a great game and win this match. That is our goal.”

Bernardo Silva pretty much had an open opinion on the matter as well.

“We expect a very tough match against Liverpool, we know how strong and solid they are, one of the best in the world. They are a direct rival for the Premier League title, so we know how difficult it will be, but our aim is to win.”

“We are playing at home, which should have a positive influence. We need these three points in order to pursue our place at the top. The truth is that our last encounters with Liverpool at the Etihad were positive for us”

The midfielder continued, “Since I joined Man City, we won all our games against Liverpool at home in the Premier League, but these games are always unpredictable. We’ll do everything to keep winning and to win on Sunday. We know it will not be easy, but we will do everything we can.”

Pep Guardiola sets up City for Liverpool clash — Bildbyran

Ahead of Sunday’s big match against Liverpool, Pep Guardiola has prepared his Manchester City team.

He said, “It is an important game [vs Liverpool] but like presidential elections in the USA, all the votes must be counted. A lot of points to play for.”

“It’s always nice to play against the strongest teams and last year they [Liverpool] were stronger. They are an exceptional team, they have had the same manager for a long time and it is nice to face him all the time to improve our level.”

“Of course it is important but it is just the seventh game and there are a lot of points to play. We know we have to do a good performance to beat them [Liverpool] – we’ve won and lost in the past. We are going to do our best to beat them.”

“The difference is we have one game more to prepare, and we train as usual. Some ideas are on the table like every game and after we decide what is most comfortable for the players.”

“It was good for all of us, especially not coming here and staying with families, to be out of the training centre is good for the mind. Today they were ready and the day after hopefully too.”

“When you play against teams like Liverpool you always have moments where you have to suffer. We know it, we have to do it and try to use our strength as much a possible. We know each other quite well.”

“I don’t expect a game like 90 minutes we will be there or they will be there. There will be ups and downs, we have to be stable and take our good chances and be clinical. Both teams want to attack, both teams want to try.”

City warned against signing Messi! — Bildbyran

Former Manchester City forward Emile Mpenza has talked about the idea of City signing Lionel Messi!

“I think that with all the defensive problems [Pep] Guardiola has, he doesn’t really need someone like Messi,” he said.

“He should sort the leaky defence out first. [Vincent] Kompany has left a huge hole at the heart of the defence and City are yet to find the stability they had when Kompany was running the backline.

“It’s a tall order to fill Vincent’s shoes and what’s the point of signing Messi with all the issues they have at the back?

“They have enough players in his position like [Riyad] Mahrez and [Sergio] Aguero. If they sign Messi that would be too many players for the same position and cause problems.

“I believe that he will link up with Pep Guardiola again at some point in his career, but not at City itself but rather for their partner club New York City FC.

“Guardiola has managed in three of the best European leagues such as La Liga, the Premier League and Bundesliga with only Serie A missing. For me MLS is his next stop and he will take Messi with him there.”

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus has talked about his form and return from injury!

“I feel so good,” he said. “I feel confident. I came back strong.

“Of course, I need time and a few minutes to get my physical condition back and my energy. But I am so happy to play ten minutes and help the team.

“We played so good. We have won three out of three in the group, that’s good for us. Nine points and we are top of the group stage. We are very happy.”

Without him and Aguero, Pep Guardiola has had to find a new solution of attackers to solve the goal crisis and City have done well.

“It’s good for the team,” he said. “It’s good to have so many good players in the group.

“Everyone can play and it’s good because the quality is high. It’s great for the club to have options.”

“Every game is important,” he said. “Of course, we talk about a Premier League game like Sunday against Liverpool against first in the league, it’s good because we have to play good and win the game.

“If we want to win the Premier League again, we have to win this kind of game.”

Why Manchester City Should Not Sign Lionel Messi

Pep Guardiola has been warned against signing Lionel Messi.

Former Manchester City striker, Emile Mpenza believes the club should prioritize improving the defence rather than signing the six Balon d’Or.

“I think that with all the defensive problems [Pep] Guardiola has, he doesn’t really need someone like Messi,” he said.

“He should sort the leaky defence out first. [Vincent] Kompany has left a huge hole at the heart of the defence and City are yet to find the stability they had when Kompany was running the backline.

“It’s a tall order to fill Vincent’s shoes and what’s the point of signing Messi with all the issues they have at the back?

“They have enough players in his position like [Riyad] Mahrez and [Sergio] Aguero. If they sign Messi that would be too many players for the same position and cause problems.

“I believe that he will link up with Pep Guardiola again at some point in his career, but not at City itself but rather for their partner club New York City FC.

“Guardiola has managed in three of the best European leagues such as La Liga, the Premier League and Bundesliga with only Serie A missing. For me MLS is his next stop and he will take Messi with him there.”

Jesus Feels He Can Perform Better Than Olympiacos — Bildbyran

Man City forward Gabriel Jesus feels he can perform better.

On Sunday, he came back on the field and was featured on the field against Olympiacos on Sunday. Man City win 3-0 against Olympiacos.

Speaking to Esporte Interativo about his return, Jesus said: “I’m happy, man. I won’t lie, I was apprehensive. Everyone at the beginning, when they feel injury, gets upset. I’m no different. It was a little serious injury having caught the tendon, third degree. So it took a while.

I came back before the estimated time. So I’m happy to recover sooner, but I worked very hard, everyday; at home, at the club. You see all the work, training, come to the game, have the chance, play and score. I’m very happy.”

“I played today [vs Olympiacos], I could have 30 minutes of play. On Sunday I believe I can play more. And the confidence continues.”

Speaking of Sunday’s clash with Liverpool, he said, “It’s a very important game for us, it’s a direct confrontation against the leader of the table,”

“We need to win those three points if we want to aspire to win the Premier League again. We need to be very focused, especially playing at home. We need to play our way and try to win the game.”

Gabriel Jesus Returns With 'Brilliant Goal' In Olympiacos Clash — Bildbyran

Gabriel Jesus returned back to the pitch after recovering from his six-week hamstring injury.

He had picked up a hamstring injury during the 3-1 win over Wolves in back September, but managed to recover in time for the 3-0 Olympiacos clash.

And Pep Guardiola was very pleased with his comeback after Jesus scored a ‘brilliant’ goal in the 81st minute.

“It is important, of course the fact that Gabriel is back,” said Pep.

“He is so important for us. He scored a brilliant goal, and I’m so happy that Gabriel is back.”

“He played really well again and he scored a brilliant goal,” said Pep.

“He moves really well with the ball and without the ball. He’s growing, but he’s already scored a lot of goals. We’re happy for his performance.

“Overall in the first half, we played really good in all aspects; the way we pressed, the way we played, but unfortunately the finishing, the last pass, the last shot wasn’t perfect.

“But in general, the first half and the last 15 minutes was really good.

“The way we played the chances we created we had to score more.

“We created chances and then at the end when Gabriel scored, the game was over.”

John Stones Shines In Guardiola's Eyes Against Olympiakos

Pep Guardiola singled out John Stones for praise after Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Olympiakos.

Manchester City ran out 3-0 winners with Stones making his first start in over a month.

“Last season we did not have enough players for competitions when we had a nightmare with injuries,” Guardiola told BT Sport.

“It was really good, especially Nathan for the beginning and from John. He’s back at his level with an incredible performance – almost perfect – and it is not easy when you are a long time without playing. I am so delighted for his mentality, he played really good.”

“[We were] exceptional first half, unfortunately we could not finish with more goals because we played really well,” added Guardiola.

“In the second half we struggled for some moments but when we scored the second one the game was over. We struggled a bit to find the second goal but finally with an incredible goal from Gabriel and then from Joao, we finished the game.

“In general it’s good news for him and for us that Gabriel is back. It was a real solid performance, especially in the first half, and the reason why we struggled a little bit is because we could not score the second one.”

Manchester City face Liverpool next in the Premier League on Sunday. Guardiola said, “Now it’s good, we have finally four or five days to recover well and prepare for Liverpool and the international break, and focus on the Premier League.”

Nathan Ake Spills Beans About Guardiola's Future At Man City — © Bildbyrån - COP 7 - SWEDEN ONLY

Man City defender Nathan Ake has spoken about manager Pep Guardiola’s future at Man City.

Guardiola had been linked with a move away from Manchester City up until recently when Barcelona’s presidential candidate Victor Font had stated that he wanted to reinstate Barcelona under Pep Guardiola once again.

However, Guardiola denied the offer and snubbed all rumours. However, the offer still stands.

“It would be good (if he signs) but obviously, it’s up to him,” Ake said. “So far we are focused on this season and trying to win titles. We’ll be focused on that first and then who knows what happens after.

Asked whether he had improved as a player under Pep, Ake asserted: “I think so.”The manager has been so good for this club.”

“That’s one of the reasons I came to work under Pep. I’ve seen in the first few months, the way he works with players, he shows what we can improve and works with me. I am learning.

“That’s a plus for me. It’s one of the reasons I came, and I see myself improving already. Hopefully there’s more to come.

“There are differences in expectations (from Bournemouth). You are here to win trophies and titles.

“You play in big games, in the Champions League. It’s a good step up for me, to improve myself and learn from one of best managers in world

“My first few months here been very good so far.

“The team and staff are making me feel welcome and that’s helping. I’m really enjoying it.”
