Guardiola: It was difficult, and we achieved an important point
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola appeared in press statements after the 0-0 draw against Southampton in the 36th round of the Premier League at St. Mary's Stadium.
The coach said in his remarks: "It was difficult. We had chances, but unfortunately, we couldn't score. Southampton played defensively, defensively, defensively, and wasted time. We will take advantage of this point; it is in our hands."
He added: "I did not expect Southampton to defend so deeply. We were very good in defense, but unfortunately, we wasted the final chances."
He noted: "Erling Haaland did not expect to play enough minutes, but the way the game was played required players inside the penalty area."
He concluded: "That point was really important."
