City boss Pep Guardiola on KDB starting again👇
“It's a long time, five months, he didn't play.
“He comes back with energy.
“He played really, really good.
“Him and Erling [Haaland] are going to help us this part of the season.”
City boss Pep Guardiola on the second goal 👇
“Today all the teams have people just focusing on set-pieces.
“It's a massive thing in modern football.
“We won in the Cup at Tottenham from a corner, and today we practiced it and it worked.
“All the teams try to do it, it's another weapon. All the teams try to use it.”
City boss Pep Guardiola 👇
“Today the game was not close. There are games with this score that feel closer, this was not.
“We had players who have less control than usual, we had more runners, more speed.
“Burnley is not an easy team to face, they never give up.
“Today, we won because of the quality of players we have, not because we controlled everything or were better at all aspects.”
Just awaiting the manager for his post-match press conference.
Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez acknowledge the big support at the Etihad this evening following our comfortable 3-1 victory over Burnley.
KDB on Haaland being back, via TNT Sports 👇
“I think everyone is happy.
“I think for the first time this season we’ve had a full squad, apart from Manu Akanji. That’s not happened for us.
“Everybody gets injuries. If everyone gets back we will be really competitive and it can only help us.”
KDB on the mentality needed, via TNT Sports 👇
“It’s more of a feeling if we lose a game, we’re getting too far behind, like we have to win.
“If we lose today, Liverpool would win and then they’re far away.
“We just keep plugging away trying to win and hopefully we come a little closer to them and we can fight to the end again.”
KDB on his free-kick assist for Alvarez’s second, via TNT Sports 👇
“Yesterday, we worked a bit on it.
“At the beginning I didn’t really want to do it. But the defender with Julian moved into the middle a bit.
“So he opened the space for Julian to go into. I just had to put it straight with the right speed and Julian did the rest.”
KDB on his first start since Burnley away, via TNT Sports 👇
“Feels great obviously.
“The last time I started was against Burnley at the start of the season about six months ago.
“Now I’m feeling good. Progressing now and I’m happy. I’m going in the right direction.”
