Premier League: Chelsea-City was “good advertising” for English football, Guardiola appreciates

Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea coach (after the 4-4 draw against Manchester City in the league): “I'm very proud, so happy. Credit goes to the players who produced this incredible performance against the best team in the world, in my opinion. So much has happened... You still have to improve, that's the way to go when you want to build a project. This kind of experience will make our team better, we must use it and translate that into the future. (come back to the score three times) this shows the character, the mentality, and also that we have the tools to create chances and dominate. Today is an important day to build confidence in the way we work.”

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach: “It could have been better, but it could have been worse too (smiles). Good publicity for the Premier League. They started better, at home. They have built something with a lot of young players. It was a close match, we had our moments, they had theirs. We made some bad... not perfect decisions. I think it's a fair result for both teams, both played to win. (...) Everyone wants to beat us. People say Chelsea lose against City, that's normal, City have a fantastic team. But that's not reality. If you expect us to come here to win 7-0, you are wrong.”
