Premier League: De Bruyne and Haaland have 'an incredible connection', stresses Guardiola

Pep Guardiola (Manchester City coach who beat Arsenal 4-1 for the 33rd day of the Premier League, at the microphone of BT Sports): “Erling (Haaland) is an incredible threat. The way we played last seasons with a false nine was completely different, but the connection between Kevin (De Bruyne) and Erling is extraordinary and we tried to use it as much as possible. Whether defensively or offensively, from the first minutes we were incredibly focused. And the guys responded amazingly in a very important game. (…) In the past two months, the players have shown, as they have shown in the past, that they start every match to win. I think the next three games (Fulham, West Ham and Leeds) will be decisive. If we manage to do what we have to do, we will be very close (to the coronation) because we also have two games behind. But the reality today is that we are two points behind Arsenal (…) so we are still taking match after match and we will see”.
