John Stones disagrees with Pep Guardiola, dismissing Man City’s chances
Manchester City defender John Stones is optimistic about the team’s prospects for the season. Despite manager Pep Guardiola’s doubt about achieving a treble like last season, Stones believes that they can make history by becoming the first team to win the treble two years in a row. He points to their track record of winning and beating their rivals as evidence of their potential.
Manchester City has already secured victories in the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as progressing through an FA Cup match against Tottenham. They also have a strong position in the Premier League title race and are set to resume Champions League duties soon. Stones, who has recently returned from injury and reclaimed his spot in the starting lineup, expressed his ambitious goals in an interview with BBC Radio Manchester after the Everton match.
He emphasized the importance of having a goal and stated that he believes anything is possible with the group and mentality of players they have. Following the win against Everton, Guardiola praised the team’s resilience and ability to overcome tough challenges this season. He mentioned the upcoming tough matches in the Champions League and against opponents like Chelsea, highlighting the team’s strong environment and feeling from the beginning of the season.
Guardiola expressed his satisfaction with the team’s progress and emphasized that while he likes the team’s attitude, it does not guarantee success.
