Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola Admits Need for New Players
Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola suggests signing in a midfielder and centre-back player during the January Transfer window.
He stated that he believes signing in new players can strengthen the team’s defense.
Speaking with the media, Guardiola admitted that the team still has room for improvements and needs help.
“In some positions, we need help. The squad is good; the problem is we don’t have the squad and that makes everything difficult.”
“I thought central defenders would be fit all season but we have struggled—holding midfield and central defenders. We need help. The market is the market; it’s not easy; it’s expensive so we will see what the club can do.”
