Guardiola: Donnarumma and Haaland are Manchester City s key puzzles now it s hard to predict who will win the championship

October 6th, Guardiola was interviewed a few days ago. He believes that Donnarumma and Haaland are two important puzzles for Manchester City because they helped the team return to the Premier League championship battle.

In this round of Premier League, Manchester City defeated Brentford 1-0 away, Haaland scored the only goal in the game, and Donnarumma made a key save in the second half to save the lead.

Guardiola said: "I have an incredible striker and goalkeeper, but it's obvious that we missed the opportunity in the first half. With our play, we have to end the game more efficiently to win easily, which is very similar to Monaco."

"With Haaland there and Donnarumma's return, they are two important puzzles."

Guardiola believes that Manchester City is starting to get better, and they have now extended their unbeaten record in all competitions to seven games, but he insists that it's too early to predict the title's title, pointing out that Liverpool's strong start and recent stumbling is proof.

Guardiola said: "It has only been seven rounds in the Premier League. I want to say that Liverpool seemed to have won the Premier League three weeks ago, but now they are not. The important thing is to see the team getting better and better. Liverpool is an incredible team. Like Arsenal, the problem is to keep improving. Our way of playing and defense will help us stay competitive."

It seems that the points required to win this season may be less than usual, because top teams score points, and the mid-range Premier League teams are also starting to cause trouble for the giants more frequently, although Guardiola has not ruled out that any team will change the situation through a wave of winning streak.

He said: "I don't know that the points were higher and better in the previous few seasons, but I don't know that maybe there is a team that can achieve an amazing winning streak."

"You (the media) are brave in their work because you will predict what will happen, and I can't do that. It's too early to analyze after seven games, and there are factors such as ups and downs in form and injuries. When I was in Monaco, I felt that we did a good job in many aspects, and today our team defended better. Our way of playing is not lasting 90 minutes, but we are improving."
