Kyle Walker did not believe that winning a treble was a realistic goal for Manchester City, but he thinks that securing their fourth Premier League title would be something truly special.
Guardiola cautious despite Man City 4-0 rout of Brighton
Manchester City’s 4-0 victory over Brighton may have been impressive, but manager Pep Guardiola remains cautious about the pressure his team faces. Despite the win, Guardiola knows that winning the treble this season was not a realistic goal for City. However, he believes that winning four Premier League titles in a row would be something truly special.
Currently sitting in second place in the Premier League table, just one point behind league leaders Arsenal, City still have a game in hand. If they win their remaining three games, they will secure the title. This makes their upcoming match against Fulham on Saturday a crucial one.
Kyle Walker, City’s right-back, expressed his hope that the team can end the season on a high note. Despite being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and the EFL Cup, Walker believes that winning the Premier League and the FA Cup would still be a significant achievement. He mentioned that the team had discussed the possibility of replicating last season’s success and winning the treble again, but acknowledged that it was a difficult task.
Walker, who has won five Premier League titles with City, emphasized that the team often hits their stride after Christmas. He believes that this is the time when they “lock in” for the title race. The tough period of playing numerous games in quick succession is something City is accustomed to, and they thrive during this time.
As the captain of City, Walker expressed that it would be extremely special to lift the Premier League trophy. He feels honored that his teammates have chosen him as their captain and wants to be the one to lift the trophy. However, he also recognizes that the collective achievement of winning four Premier League titles in a row would be an incredible feat.
With the destiny in their own hands, City remains hopeful that they can secure the title. Guardiola and his team are focused on getting three points in each remaining game and moving forward. The pressure is undoubtedly there, but City is determined to rise to the challenge and make history.
