The Spaniard has seen his side slip to fourth in
the Premier League, after taking 12 points from
their last nine fixtures
.
Although City are now seven points behind
leaders Chelsea, Guardiola insists there is time
for him to turn the slump around.
“Long-term projects don’t exist in football. You
have to win immediately, if you don’t win you
will be in trouble,” Guardiola told a news
conference ahead of City’s game with Watford
on Wednesday.
“When you don’t win there are many reasons
— maybe the opponent is better. Always when
you make mistakes you have to minimise the
mistakes to win the games. I believe in that. I
believe in what I like to play. If I am not able to
do that, the boss and the chairman are going to
decide.”
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich
manager, also insisted he has no plans to ditch
his playing style, despite their 4-2 loss at
Leicester City last weekend.
“I want us to play like we did against Chelsea,
which is not a long time ago,” Guardiola
continued.
“I saw the game again and we didn’t deserve
what happened. Football is like that.
“Kevin was one metre from the goal, and to
score the goal in that moment, or for Sergio to
shoot when there was no goalkeeper, at that
moment we would be top of the league.
Now we
are seven points down. Sometimes these things
happen in football but you have to improve
because we have made a lot of mistakes in
situations.
“I have to discover how I can help my players,
because they don’t want to make mistakes. The
players suffer the same as me and the staff and
the people. You have to minimise that because
it’s tough for us.”
