"If you want to be a manager it is better to win trophies, always. You do not always have the chance to play nice football. I think everything is related, because as a manager when you win you almost always play well. You want your players to win it in the best way for the players you have, to play the way that, in your soul, you believe in. I do think this is the most important thing."
"The Opta supercomputer currently gives City a mere 5.7% chance of winning their seventh Premier League title under Guardiola, with 91.2% of season simulations seeing Arsenal lift the trophy. Aside from when he took a year-long sabbatical after leaving Barcelona in 2012, Guardiola has never endured back-to-back seasons without a league title in his career."
Pep Guardiola rejected Arne Slot's claim that playing entertaining football is more important than winning trophies. Manchester City travel to Anfield with limited margin for error as Arsenal lead the title race. Liverpool sit sixth, 14 points off the top, after a season that fell short of title-defense expectations. Slot expressed a preference for good football over accumulating trophies. Guardiola has combined proactive, possession-based play with consistent trophy success, securing multiple league titles, domestic cups and a Champions League. Opta simulations give City a 5.7% title chance while Arsenal are heavy favorites.
