The rout saw Manchester City become the first English side ever to lose to Bodo/Glimt in a major European competition.
Also beaten by Bodo/Glimt, Pep Guardiola admits: “We have the feeling that everything is going wrong”
The technician stated that the team is going through a difficult time and talked about the problems that appeared in the game. City are going through a delicate moment, already having two consecutive defeats. At the weekend he lost the derby with Manchester United, score 0-2.
“We have the feeling that everything is going wrong in many details. We have to try to change that. We have to change the dynamic already in the next game, with Wolves, and then with Galatasaray“, said Guardiola, in the first phase, according to abola.pt.
The technician compared the development in Norway with that of the derby with United.
“We were apathetic against United but not today. The team was in the game. We suffered a bit. Bodo/Glimt was very good and we must congratulate her.
I know how good this Norwegian team is. I did not underestimate her. They were in the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. That is very vivid in my memory,” he said, also referring to the conditions in which City entered the field: “We had important players injured and we fought even when we were outnumbered.
We didn't have Savinho and Jeremy Doku, our wingers. In other positions, we lacked players who give us more consistency.
Those from Bodo/Glimt were very well organized. They forced us to play in the lanes and we didn't have players capable of winning one-on-one duels and creating superiority behind the defensive line,” added Guardiola.
