Pep Guardiola has offered an “unusual excuse” on why Manchester City suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur during a Premier League match on Sunday, February 5.
Harry Kane’s 15th-minute goal which made him the top scorer for Tottenham, was enough to seal their defeat over Manchester City.
Speaking to reporters after the defeat, Guardiola suggested that his players had been affected by the trip to north London.
He said;
“We are an attractive team. Our teams are always good, we try to go forward and be generous for our fans. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but I cannot complain much. When you win four Premier Leagues in five years we cannot complain much about what we have done and the way we have done it.
“We try to continue to do it and improve the things that will help us in the future. But we go back to Manchester. Coming to London is like going to, I don’t know, northern Europe. It is 4 hours 20 minutes, 4 hours and a half to get to a hotel. It’s so exhausting to come to London, I’m sorry. We need to come back to Manchester and prepare for the game against Aston Villa.”
