Ahead of Manchester City’s home fixture against Nottingham Forest in Premier League Round 29, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke at his pre-match press conference.
Guardiola spoke about how players score goals: “Football is all about scoring goals, and it doesn’t matter how you score them. But sometimes we have to adapt our tactics to the qualities of the players we have.
I’ve said it many times: when you have Haaland, you need to put in more crosses, and when Reilly bursts into the box, you also need crosses. When you have Messi, you don’t need crosses.
It all depends on the players we have – we have to adapt. The important thing is scoring goals. We’ve never scored from a throw-in, only from corners or free-kicks. I’m always happy when we score; that’s the truth.”
