Guardiola reflects on himself: O Reilly and McCarthy are not playing

Ball Push Network, May 2, Before Manchester City's 35th round of the Premier League match against Wolves, Guardiola made an in-depth interpretation of the key substitutions in the FA Cup and the season's employment strategy at the press conference.

Talking about the decision to replace Husanov in the FA Cup half, Guardiola said bluntly: "Husanov has been yellow. In order to avoid him from taking a red card and strengthening his left offense, I made substitution adjustments. At that time, I did not expect that O'Reilly would play the whole game, so Gvadior moved to the central defender position. Faced with the continuous injury problems in the season, Guardiola sighed: "The experience of young players such as Reis and Husanov proved that there is absolutely solid position in the team."

Guardiola specifically mentioned the unconventional employment arrangements: "If someone said at the beginning of the season, Nunes and O'Reilly played the defender, and Gvadior changed to the central defender, I would definitely find it incredible. But now they rely on their stable performance and tacit cooperation to make these "impossible" a reality."

Looking back on the season's employment, Guardiola rarely reflects on himself: "O'Reilly and McCarty are at 11 There were few opportunities to play from month to February. Now, thinking about it, they may have underestimated their abilities at that time. Perhaps I made a mistake in judgment and believed that they had not met the playing standards, and now the facts proved that they were ready. "This frank analysis not only showed Guardiola's recognition of young players, but also reflected Manchester City's response wisdom under the wave of injuries and the coach's deep thinking on the lineup.
