Josep Guardiola has called back Oleksandr Zinchenko. The left back firmly believes that Manchester City can conquer the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League in addition to the league title. However, the Spanish manager believes that Zinchenko should make such statements. Guardiola considers it almost impossible to win the so-called quadruple, even though his team is still fighting on four fronts.
“Of course it is possible, we have an incredibly good team with the best players in the world,” said the ambitious Zinchenko in the English media. “The hunger for success is very strong in the dressing room and you want to see that too.” At the press conference prior to the Champions League match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Guardiola replied to the defender: “I am older than Mr Zinchenko, have more experience and disagree with him. All he has to deal with is playing. of a good match (against Gladbach, ed.), so that we get one lap further. That is the only way “, emphasizes the choice lord of the Citizens.
“Conquering four prizes is a utopia. That has never happened in England and I don’t think it will ever happen,” Guardiola clearly puts on the brakes. “So if you ask me if I agree with Zinchenko, I say ‘no’. I totally disagree. It is not at all realistic to expect that. We are only thinking about the duel with Gladbach and then we focus on the FA Cup game with Everton at Goodison Park. Then the international break will follow. Hopefully all players will return home safe and sound, because after their return an important period will begin. “
As the leader, Manchester City has a 14-point lead over number two Manchester United, making the league title only a matter of time. Everton will be the opponent in the FA Cup quarter finals on Saturday, while Tottenham Hotspur will be the opponent in the EFL Cup final on April 25. Thanks to the 0-2 victory over Gladbach a few weeks ago, it is very likely that Manchester City will qualify for the quarter-final in the Champions League.
