NO MERCY: PEP GUARDIOLA WARNS MAN CITY STARS—STAY FIT OR MISS FOREST CLASH
Pep Guardiola reveals strict weigh-in results for his squad as Manchester City aims to overtake Arsenal at the top of the table.
City cruised to an easy 3-0 win against West Ham before Christmas, staying close behind Arsenal by just two points.
Guardiola, who's won a load of league titles with City, is known to be strict. He mentioned that the team was weighed before their short break and told to watch what they ate before their game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
If City wins, they'll be at the top before Arsenal plays Brighton.
Even though Guardiola said he indulged a bit over the holidays, he expects his players to stay in shape.
"I think I gained, like, eight pounds with all the eating and drinking, which is great," Guardiola joked.
Then, turning serious, he said about his team, "They've been super disciplined for, like, forever."
Last season was hard with all the injuries, but they've always been great.
Everyone I've coached for the last 10 years has been this way. We have standards at the club, and everyone knows what's expected.
City's on a roll with seven straight wins, and they're still fighting for several cups.
I'd love to be way ahead, but it is what it is. "Arsenal's doing great, but we're right there," Guardiola said.
It's still December, we're doing well in the Champions League and the Premier League, we're in the League Cup semi-finals, and the FA Cup is coming up soon.
Some key players are coming back, so we'll just take it one game at a time and see what happens.
Saturday's game will be emotional since Forest just lost their legend, John Robertson, who was 72.
Robertson was a star in Forest's two European Cup wins, setting up a goal in 1979 and scoring the winning goal in 1980.
Playing Forest away is always hard, especially now, with the loss of an important person in their history like John Robertson, Guardiola said.
Even though Forest is close to the relegation zone, Guardiola thinks playing at their home ground will be tough.
It's always a really hard place to play—because of the fans and their team's quality, he said.
They've spent a lot of money in recent years and got promoted to the Premier League, and they're a good team.
REVEALED: THE SECRET TWO-WORD MESSAGE ERLING HAALAND SENT TO MAN CITY’S OMAR MARMOUSH
Erling Haaland sends a "Salam Brusjans" message to Man City teammate Omar Marmoush after Egypt's late AFCON win.
Erling Haaland, the Man City striker, sent a shout-out to Omar Marmoush after Egypt's crazy late win in the African Cup of Nations. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal in the 91st minute, helping Egypt edge out Zimbabwe in their first game of the tournament.
This win gave one of the teams expected to do well a great start, especially since they had to come from behind to get the points. That goal was Salah's first since he scored in Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League win against Aston Villa in early November. Marmoush tied the game up a little after the hour mark.
After the game, Salah did what he always does and posted pics of himself with the other goal scorers on Instagram.
He put up a picture of himself with Man City’s Marmoush, and Haaland sent a message to his teammate.
The Norwegian wrote, 'Salam Brusjans,' which means 'peace brothers,' and added a thumbs-up emoji.
Even though Egypt won, their coach, Hossam Hassan, thought they could have done better in attack.
We didn't have the best luck. We missed a lot of chances and made things harder on ourselves, he told BeIN Sports. I told the players this could happen, and we need to learn from it.
There are no easy games. We want to try and win the whole thing. Egypt is a big team in Africa and should fight for the trophy.
Egypt is back in action on Boxing Day against South Africa in their group game. Then, on Monday, December 29th (4 pm kick-off), they play Angola.
Meanwhile, Man City is back in the Premier League on Saturday, December 27th (12:30 pm kick-off), when they play Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Sean Dyche's team is now safe from relegation and is five points ahead of West Ham United, who are in 18th place.
SHOCK: ERLING HAALAND’S HALL OF FAME VERDICT REVEALED: THE SECRET TO PEP’S GENIUS
How Erling Haaland smashed Alan Shearer’s records in record time. JUST IN: His SHOCK tribute to Pep Guardiola’s help.
Ever since Erling Haaland switched from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City in 2022, he's been smashing records left and right. It's cool since his dad, Alfie, played for City, too. Right off the bat, he became the Premier League's top scorer in his first month!
Just a couple of months later, this Norwegian star became the first player to score hat tricks in three home games in a row in the Premier League. By the end of his first season, he was the top scorer with 36 goals—beating Harry Kane by six.
Haaland didn't stop there. He kept breaking records, becoming the fastest player to reach 50, 75, and 100 Premier League goals, beating the legendary Alan Shearer twice.
He's only been in England for barely three years, and this 25-year-old has already snagged two Golden Boots. Now, people are seriously thinking about putting him in the Premier League Hall of Fame.
‘So far, it’s been great to work with him.’
Haaland chatted with JioStar about how much City's manager, Pep Guardiola, has helped him become the superstar he is today.
Since I signed up with City, Pep Guardiola has really helped me tweak my game and get into positions where I can score. He’s a genius, and he’s been a big help in my development as a goal scorer. So far, it’s been great to work with him,” Haaland said.
Guardiola has really turned City around. They were already doing well after the Abu Dhabi United Group bought them in 2008 and won their first title in over 40 years in 2011-12.
But with Guardiola, Man City became a real powerhouse in the Premier League. They've won six out of nine seasons under him, plus the 2022-23 Champions League and two FA Cup titles.
Haaland has been part of two of those seasons—2022-23 and 2023-24. Earlier this year, City were behind Liverpool and Arsenal, but now they’re catching up to Arsenal and are still in the running for their 11th Premier League title.
