I just watched Pep’s post match interview and he says he’s so happy with the team’s performance today. As a fan who wanted to see some action from both sides I do not share the same sentiment with Pep Guardiola. A draw was unexpected but I doubt anyone predicted that Manchester City would not be able to get a goal from this game. I can’t imagine how many people have lost their bets on this game. I’m looking forward to City’s game against Arsenal in the weekend. Hope it meets the expectations of what a big clash should be.
As a coach, it is only natural that he is happy with his team's performance even though they had to draw. In addition, during the interview he could not criticize and complain about his players because it would make the players depressed. In fact, giving praise for what the team has achieved is a must for every coach, especially next week they will have a big match against Arsenal.
Although in this match many were disappointed with the draw because previously Man City was very favored to get full points in this match, btw I was also one of the people who lost the bet on this match and this was very painful for me.
In this match, Inter played very disciplined, especially since Inter is known as a team with the neatest defense and their counter-attack build-up was also very good. None of their players were nervous when defending and did not make many mistakes. So this made Man City have to play very carefully when entering 3/4 of Inter's defense area, because if they were blocked, they would immediately take a quick attack stance.
Even though Man City could not achieve a perfect result in the first match, I still salute Man City because of Man City's advantages that I have always admired in the Pep Guardiola era, they can always make passes in the middle of the opponent's tight defense and can always find gaps for passes there, and for Inter, I also salute them for being able to match Man City's game.
