In the 32nd round of the Premier League tonight, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 4-2 away from home. After the game, Guardiola talked about his views on the schedule and De Bruyne at the press conference.

We have a game against Real Madrid next week. How difficult is this season?

"The difference is that we have more injured players than last season. Today Walker and Ake are absent, which means the players do not have time to recover. We will try, but based on my experience, these next three games It's all difficult. "

" To get to the final stage, you need a full squad. If you can't keep everyone active, there is almost no chance. You can play a few games in a short period of time, but it is always three days. "

"At the same time, the players have an incredibly competitive mentality and the end of the season is getting closer, with seven games left in the Premier League and all players are. Extraordinary effort to win."

De Bruyne's role in the game today

"We couldn't have won this game without him, but you're talking about a coach, but a player like De Bruyne. To make this game easy, he is one of the best players in Manchester City's history. "

" To be able to maintain this form at Manchester City for nine years and maintain this consistency is amazing. His first goal. The ball is incredible, his assists are unbelievable, really good. "De Bruyne is definitely very energetic mentally. Like everyone, he likes to laugh on the bus and in the dressing room. Body language determines his character to a large extent, all players do, especially De Bruyne, hope they can keep it up. "

"100 goals is a lot, and there are also a lot of assists, which is really good. , We were not as solid as usual in defense and transition between offense and defense, which is why we conceded the first goal. "Three days, three days, three days to play a game, we have mental energy, this is not only. It’s a physical requirement, but also a mental requirement. Sometimes it’s Foden, Haaland or Alvarez who stand out, but today it’s De Bruyne.”
