Guardiola: This is the team's situation, and competing for a Champions League qualifying spot is not bad

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola appeared at a press conference to discuss tomorrow's match against Everton in the 33rd round of the Premier League at Goodison Park.

The coach spoke about the team's condition: "Ederson is unavailable, and I don't know the exact duration of his absence. Haaland is still unavailable and will continue to be absent in the coming period, and Nathan Aké and Stones are also not ready."

Regarding the atmosphere at Goodison Park, he said: "It is a unique stadium like other traditional stadiums in England; when you go to Fulham or Villa Park, or stadiums like this, you feel a special atmosphere. But clubs grow, and I am completely sure that their new stadium will be better in terms of comfort, and it is a beautiful place to go to, which is of course difficult but beautiful."

He continued about the Everton team: "Sean Dyche has done a great job at Everton during his time with the team, but Moyes's impact is still significant."

He added: "I enjoyed the Champions League matches, Aston Villa, Dortmund, and Barcelona, and I hope we return there next season. Of course, returning motivates us a lot. We haven't been good, but the upcoming matches are important."

He continued: "We are not at our best, but we are good; the recent win over Crystal Palace was really important."

He stated: "We just hope to reach the Champions League next season and face the big European clubs and compete better than we did this season and what we have done in the past seven years. This is what I see."

He concluded: "Competing for a Champions League qualifying spot is not bad; the team could be much lower in the Premier League if it doesn't perform well compared to what we have done over the past four or five months. We could be in eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, or fourteenth place! I have no doubt about that; it is in our hands. Tomorrow's match is important; we don't have much time."
