JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Arne Slot said no one should feel sorry for Pep Guardiola even though Manchester City suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League.

Liverpool won the match against The Citizens with a score of 2-0 at Anfield thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Now, the Reds are at the top of the standings 11 points ahead of Manchester City who are in fifth position.

In total, Guardiola's side are now without a win in seven games in all competitions, six defeats and one draw.

The record four consecutive defeats in the Premier League also address the first worst since August 2008, a month before Sheikh Mansour took over the club.

However, Slot quickly showed Guardiola's impressive record during his tenure as Manager of The Citizens when asked if he sympathized with the Spanish manager.

"Are you feeling sympathy or empathy for the manager who is in a very bad position?"

"They've lost a lot of games or been at the bottom of the table, but Pep has won a lot and has shown it many times."

"That's why the league wasn't decided in November. Last season they were eight points behind Arsenal, I think, in February."

"No one needs to feel sorry for Pep, maybe for other managers, but not for Pep."

"He has won a lot and he will be able to bring Manchester City back," said Slot.

This is an impressive week for Liverpool. They went through a tough week by beating Real Madrid 2-0 in the Champions League and Manchester City 2-0, everything was done at Anfield.

Next, the Reds will travel to Newcastle United headquarters on Thursday, December 5, 2024 in the morning WIB.

Arne Slot emphasized to his troops that he should not be happy. On the other hand, he asked the team to keep trying and work hard in every match.
