Pep Guardiola press conference ahead of Manchester City’s UEFA Champions League League match vs FK Bodø/Glimt, giving insights on several key topics including the signing of Marc Guéhi, Erling Haaland’s fitness, and the importance of qualifying directly into the top 8 to avoid extra play-off games in February.
Guardiola praised Guéhi as a top-level, versatile central defender with leadership qualities and explained the timing of the transfer was ideal due to the player’s expiring contract and Man City’s defensive injury crisis. He also confirmed that Erling Haaland is fit and ready, brushing off fitness concerns with his usual wit.
