Guardiola dismisses ‘best team’ label ahead of Luton clash
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has downplayed his team’s status as the world’s best despite praise from Luton Town manager, Rob Edwards.
Speaking ahead of their clash on Sunday, Guardiola acknowledged Luton’s strong performance and conceded that top teams have struggled against them.
He thanked Edwards for the compliment but firmly disagreed with the “best in the world” label.
“We are not the best team in the world at the moment,” Guardiola stated. “We’re not getting results. When you are winning games, you are the best team in the world. When you are not, it’s a crisis.”
“They’re doing really well. Really really well for the way they played. Top clubs and teams like Arsenal and Liverpool have struggled to win, it will be the same for us.
“Hopefully it doesn’t make us weaker, thank you for the words. It’s a football game and at that moment, we are not the best team in the world as we are not getting results.
“When you are winning games, you are the best team in the world. When you are not, it’s a crisis. It can be exaggerated on once side but that’s the reality,” he said.
