May 18th In the FA Cup final, Manchester City missed the championship 0-1. After the game, Guardiola congratulated Crystal Palace coach Glasner at the press conference, and was also dissatisfied with the opponent's behavior of wasting a lot of time in the game.

"He defended his position, we stood our position. I understand doing this in the last few minutes, but they actually started from the first two minutes of the game."

"I feel sorry that everyone can do what they want, but we have to score goals, and we lost not because Henderson delayed the time. I can understand this behavior in the last few minutes, and it was really nine to ten minutes in stoppage time, so it was ultimately a matter of the rhythm of the game."

"All fans want to see 22 players playing with all their might, and when you see Barcelona fall behind, they Always attack, attack, and attack again, this spirit is very wonderful. "

" So I understand the opponent's position. This is the referee's problem, not the problem I said. We may not be at the level we should be. We can understand how we feel when the game is in the 86th, 87th minute or even the 92nd minute, but I don't agree with this approach. "

"My team never will be like this, because I hope we can play games that people deserve to watch. But I still want to congratulate Henderson and Crystal Palace, because they defended very well in the last moment and we failed to break their goal."
