Before the FA cup finals kicked off , pep guardiola while addressing the press sounded like they were having some kind of pity for Manchester united been a sister team and having to struggle all through the season with almost every of the league games they have been playing, I at some point felt he was sympathizing with them and so seeing Manchester united winning the FA cup at some point didn't come to me as a surprise because somehow I was hinted about it from guardiola's statements earlier before. It's not been spoken about because it appears most persons too were also sympathizing with Manchester united if not it was very obvious and clear Manchester city had more chances of winning the FA cup, even the squad that played the finals was their main first 11 so I believe Manchester city would be unstoppable on a normal day.
But, did you see that game? Why talk like Manchester City didn't play to win, this is such a gallant excuse and I don't like it. You talk as if Manchester City during some game of that season didn't see themselves declining. Didn't you see such? You should be giving credits to Erik Ten Hag and the rest of Manchester United players.
Are you implying it was scripted or meant to be that way by organizers? I don't think so honestly. The tactical approach of Erik Ten Hag during the game won them the game at most the midfielder's shielding the midfielder's from playing those passes and stopping them from detecting the game.
Even this all is ridiculous but many times we have talk like this as team was not going to win which is really shameful because we all know management spend huge funds for the strength of their team, and always they want to have best results with things are never been on same page before start of the cup things were completely favourable for the Manchester City but in game we have early lead for the RED DEVIL's, and they play better than Citizens which were dumb due to having early exit from the Champions League by the Real Madrid, but they were already having Premier League title.
Pepe Guardiola is one of the competitive coaches which never allow his players to throw matches specially just for the sympathy which they have for the Manchester United which is having poor results in last season this is completely nonsense with no one having any talk about this.
