Expectations About My Coming Here Were Overhyped – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has said his expectations in the English Premiere League might have been overhyped after all.
Guardiola in the wake of a 4-0 defeat to Everton also said he might not be good enough for his players, rather than the other way round.
City have lost four of their past eight league games and slipped to fifth with Sunday’s 4-0 defeat at Everton.
They play Tottenham at home on Saturday and Guardiola says questions should be asked of him as well as his squad.
“I don’t understand the lack of respect for amazing players when people say they are not good enough for me,” the Spanish manager said.
“Maybe the expectations about my coming here and the commentary on us winning 10 games in a row were exaggerated,” he added.
“Maybe I’m not good enough for them.”
After beginning his spell at City with a run of 10 consecutive wins, former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola accepts he is not used to the situation he finds himself in.
In seven seasons as a top flight manager in Spain and Germany, he won six league titles, four domestic cups and two Champions League finals.
“It is the first time I have been in this situation and I want to handle it, but I am not going to say my players are no good,” he said.
“I want to be top but we are not.”
