"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho has put more tension and pressure on Pep Guardiola, stating that "Manchester City" has better chances of finishing among the top four "Premier League" clubs. Mourinho highlighted this by pointing out that City won't have to play European matches, as the "Red Devils" are fighting against "Celta Vigo" in the Europa League semifinals.
"Manchester City" team is currently fourth in the "Premier League" and is only one point ahead of their biggest rivals - the "Manchester United" club. Mourinho tried to put more pressure on his opponents but also defended himself with possible justifications: "They will play only one match per week for the rest of the season, while we have the Europa League semifinal, which is very important for us," emphasized Mourinho.
"Of course, playing one game per week raises the level of players, so it will only be harder for us, but we will try," added Mourinho. The coach also revealed his vision for the club: "No matter what happens, whether we win titles or not. I feel that this season is very important for me, the players, and the club. I would say that it could be the first season out of the next five, six, or seven. The first season of successful years," Mourinho spoke about future success.
"The reality is that this is only the first season of many successful ones, and we have already won the "Community Shield" and the "EFL Cup" and have chances to win the Europa League. If we win, we could play in the European Super Cup in August. It will be simply wonderful," Mourinho added.
