瓜帥論戰術：人數劣勢也要拖延時間 對手善於長傳哈弗茨

23rd September: Manchester City 2-2 Arsenal, Guardiola speaks in an interview.

"Do you appreciate Arsenal's tactics?"

I have great admiration for my team.

Regarding the match?

I don't know how many Arsenal players went down with cramps, but that's bound to happen in a demanding game. We kept crossing the ball, with Dias, Akkanci, and Harland as targets, but when you cross, they have Rice, Saliba, Gabriel, and Calafiori defending. It's difficult to make it work, especially with ten players defending. In the end, we got what we deserved.

On Arsenal wasting time?

Perhaps I would do the same if we were playing with ten men. You have to ask Arteta about his tactics, they're very good at long balls to Havertz, who is very strong, and they look for second ball headers. In the end, we were patient, took our chances, and scored.

Regarding Rodri?

I don't know how he is, I haven't spoken with the doctor yet.
