After the loss, Guardiola talks about Salah and Marmoush’s performance

Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola talked about the performance of the two Egyptian stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, after his team lost to Liverpool in the English Premier League.

In the context of his diet on the performance of his team despite the loss of two clean goals, the Spanish coach said that Salah, who scored and made in the match, “was forced to perform defensive tasks at a higher rate than previous matches for Liverpool.”

Guardiola seemed satisfied and optimistic about the future of the team, and stated on the “Sky Sports” channel after the meeting: “We played a good match. It was equal at the beginning, but we were unable to register, and we may have missed the focus and effectiveness in the last shots and touch, but we played against a great team. ”

He added: “Liverpool’s defensive bloc with great intensity in the second half, and we succeeded in something that we did not do in previous matches, which pushed the opponent to station in front of his penalty area.”

He continued: “Savinho and Jeremy Duku performed a good work in front of Alexander Arnold. We have good wings, and Salah was forced to perform defensive tasks at a higher rate than previous matches for Liverpool. I know people will not believe that, but we performed well today. ”

Guardiola praised the Uzbek defender Abdelkader Khusanov and the Egyptian wing Marmoush, but he said he hoped to offer more to the team.

He said: “(Joseanov) performed well against Real Madrid (Spanish) when he was employed in the right -back position and succeeded in reducing the danger of Vinicius Junior. He was fast and disciplined in today’s match (against Liverpool), but he can do better, of course, because his capabilities are distinguished. The same is for Sammoush and Nico Gonzalez, but it is not easy when you face a team of Liverpool.

And he added: “I saw many things that make this club enjoy a bright future with this current strength of the players, with the exception of Kevin de Bruyne and Nathan Aki, all the players are very young, and I see that the club has a bright future in the coming years.”

Manchester City coach pointed out that “everyone knows that a few older players will be with the team, but we have to start building for the next step. It is something that needs time, but despite the absence, we played well against Liverpool.

Guardiola admitted that his team is “completely far from what we have achieved in the previous seasons, and we will see what will happen in the future, but we have shown a good personality today.”

He said: “The future is bright in front of this club in the coming years, with other players joining the following transfers.”

Regarding Erling Halland’s readiness to face Tottenham on Wednesday, Guardiola replied: “I do not know, but we have not lost to Liverpool because of Halland’s absence, because it will be unjust to the rest of the players.”
