Pep Guardiola praised Manchester City’s recovery of passion and determination after a 2-1 FA Cup victory against Bournemouth. This win marked their seventh consecutive semi-final appearance. Guardiola highlighted the role of experienced players like Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Ilkay Gundogan, emphasizing the importance of a collective attitude and effort. The team learned from a previous league loss to Bournemouth, addressing the need for more heart and soul in their performances. Guardiola indicated that this recovery is vital for the team's future success.
What we missed this season was heart, soul; the desire from how we'd done it for many, many years. For a manager the most important thing is to recover this passion.
The players have learned the lesson. I told them we cannot accept a performance like the one here in the league when people have travelled down for five hours.
