Let's focus on the "Premier League" favorite - "Manchester City" had a hard time walking only on the victorious path, as in the third round of the competition, the "citizens" lost points against the "Wolves."
The English champions had fought for two victories from as many possible until yesterday, but playing at home, the "Wolves" managed to secure a draw - 1:1.
The "Wolves" scored a very controversial goal - after video replay, it was clearly seen that Willy Boly directed the ball into Ederson's goal with his hand. However, "city" coach Pep Guardiola was not willing to comment on this episode and stated that "he is not a referee and does not intend to be one."
When asked about the game itself, the strategist replied: "The match was exactly as we expected - the "Wolves" played well-organized football. I was not surprised by their game and I am just glad at how many chances we managed to create against such a team."
"Last season, we had a lot of problems creating opportunities against teams playing with a 5-4-1 formation. Today the picture was better - we hit the goal frame three times and created many other great opportunities.
It was strange that we couldn't deal with their counterattacks, which we usually handle quite well. However, I am not disappointed with my team's performance. In some areas, we lost concentration and were punished for it," - P. Guardiola immediately spoke after the match.
