“We are defensively vulnerable at the moment,” Guardiola began his analysis at the BBC. ‘I thought we started well, but unfortunately we didn’t score a goal. Then we got a goal and then even more. That is quite difficult, in the eight years that I have been here we have not experienced that yet. We’re not exactly used to this, but life goes like this sometimes. It is what it is and we have to fight it. Yes, I do worry, if we don’t win I always do that.’
Guardiola focuses on the future; The home game against Feyenoord in the competition phase of the Champions League awaits again on Tuesday. ‘We have to live with this and reverse this trend by winning the next matches, especially the one that follows now. Now we see things a certain way, maybe in a few weeks we will see things differently.’
The coach hinted that his players are in a bit of a mental turmoil. ‘If you lose such games, it is not a matter of tactics. Of course there are details, but it’s mainly about how you react to certain situations. And the world looks different when you have lost several times in a row.’
