In the second round of the club World Cup group stage, Manchester City will play against Ain, and Guardiola attends Manchester City's pre-match press conference.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol: For the first time in 8 years you didn't win the championship last season

Guardiola: No, my friend is incorrect. Sorry to say that to you, but that is not the case.

Reporter: no?

Guardiola: no, we won the Community Shield Cup.

Reporter: sorry

Guardiola: thank you. I know that's not enough, but we won. I said a lot of times last season that the season was not good because we had high standards, but when you qualify for the Champions League and get third in the Premier League, that means 70 teams are worse than us. We played in the FA Cup final against a great team.

A lot has happened, yes, I said that the performance of the Champions League was very disappointed, we performed very poorly, and there were still very difficult situations. In more and more games, I don’t know if the injury is 40% or 50%. So this is difficult to solve. Now in my opinion we hope to go as far as possible and stay here for a longer time.

I am sure that for South American teams, Brazilian teams, and Argentina teams, the Club World Cup may be the top event, but for European teams, this event is a cup event.
