Guardiola determined to ‘change the dynamic’ | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola says he is trying to stay calm despite our difficult run of results.

City drew 1-1 against Everton on Boxing Day in the Premier League despite dominating for long periods at the Etihad.

It’s an unusual situation for Guardiola who has overseen plenty of success during his eight-and-a-half years at the Club.

He takes his side to Leicester City on Sunday 29 December for what will be his 500th game in charge of the Blues.

And the boss is determined to halt a tough streak of results but is expecting another testing examination from Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side.

“Sometimes you expect it will be easy to fix it but sometimes it will take more time,” Guardiola said ahead of the clash at the King Power Stadium, which kicks off at 14:30 (UK).

“I will not give up. I want to be here and do it. The situation we have, we have to do it.

“Now we go to Leicester, always have been difficult but now the players will be ready to do it.”

On staying relaxed on the touchline, he added: “It is what it is - I prefer not to live in that situation but it is what it is.

“Try to be as calm as possible, read the situation and work out what we can do to be better in the next game. This is what I want to try and all I want to do.”

Guardiola said he saw a lot right in the draw with Everton and told the team following the match.

And he said it was not comparable to our last home game against Manchester United when we lost three points in the dying minutes.

“I congratulated the team [after the Everton game]; it was ‘well played guys’,” he added.

“The only chance that we have is to continue - recovery and prepare well for Leicester.

“We want to change the dynamic and unfortunately we could not do it for many reasons.

“The United game we gave it away, [against Everton] we were close again. I don’t have a way to explain. It happens, it’s life, it’s football.

“We will try it again. Try it again. That’s why we have so much success and win a lot of titles because games every three days for many years. Now we have to do the same.”
