Manchester City’s head coach, Pep Guardiola, believes his team is ready to seize the opportunity to win a historic treble by capturing the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League this season. With only one game remaining, City has already won their third consecutive league title. Their next challenges are the FA cup final against rivals Manchester United and the Champions League decider against Inter Milan next month.
Guardiola points out that the treble is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his players are well prepared to take on this challenge. Only the 1998/99 Manchester United team has ever won the treble in English football history.
The Spanish manager acknowledged his squad’s readiness to win the treble. He notes how players come up on days off to make treatments, how many hours they stay to make those treatments, and how the team remains concerned about individual players’ fitness for the FA Cup and Champions League finals. Guardiola believes that when he sees the player’s level of preparation, he doesn’t have to do anything else, indicating their readiness.
Guardiola’s attention to detail is the key to his success, that much is known. However, he believes that some time off for his team is the best preparation for City’s next two big matches. In line with this, he advises his players to go on vacation, do some golfing or other fun things they like, and quality rest to prepare for the upcoming finals.
In summary, Manchester City is on the verge of achieving something unique in English football history on multiple fronts. However, Guardiola and his team have what it takes to make it happen. With the players’ readiness and Guardiola’s experience and approach, Manchester City fans will indeed be looking forward to a historic season finale.
