Three Wins Boost Man City’s Morale

LONDON: Pep Guardiola said today that Manchester City’s mood was improving after three consecutive wins but refused to comment on the potential signings of new players to bolster an injury-hit squad in January.

Premier League (EPL) champions City had won just one of their 13 matches in all competitions before their 2-0 win over Leicester on December 29.

They then beat West Ham 4-1 in Julen Lopetegui’s final game in charge of the London club and thrashed fourth-tier club Salford 8-0 in the third round of the FA Cup last week.

“Before, it was impossible to win one game, now we win three and it helps us,” said Guardiola ahead of the meeting with Brentford early this Wednesday morning.

“We did well, but we’re still waiting to see who we are. You know who we are, but of course the feeling is better.”

He added: “We had a difficult game (against Brentford). Thomas (Frank) and his team always created problems. They are an amazing team.”
