Guardiola: City do not scare Chelsea or United
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola does not think his club’s brilliant start to the campaign, will strike fear in Chelsea or United.
City have been on a goalscoring spree at the beginning of the season winning 5-0 in their last match. The Citizens have also thrashed Liverpool, Watford and Feyenoord .
Guardiola’s men will face Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, before they face Chelsea on Saturday. The Blues are fresh from a 4-0 thrashing of Stoke City and will face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Asked whether City’s performances would strike fear into their opponents, Guardiola sharply replied: “Chelsea won 4-0 at Stoke City.
“And I think United have five clean sheets in a row [five out of six in the Premier League].
“It is such tough competition. All the big teams are strong.”
