Manchester City's coach, Pep Guardiola, expressed satisfaction after their 5-2 victory over Juventus at the FIFA Club World Cup. The match showcased young talents like Jérémy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Phil Foden, marking a possible return to form after a tough season. Guardiola noted that the team’s commitment and adjustments were key to the strong performance, which reminded players of their capabilities. This game also served as a stepping stone toward achieving consistency, crucial for rebuilding belief and competitive stature in future matches.
The players felt for the first time in a long, long time we performed the way we perform, and it has been a long time since we had a performance like this.
This is just one game, but I think the players felt again what it was like to be a good team. The belief always comes from your performances, not your past.
I'm really pleased as the most important thing is the players need to realise what we have to do to be the way we were the last decade.
It has been a long time since we had a performance like this on and off the ball. The players were committed and we are happy to beat a top side.
