Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, appeared in a press conference after the 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the sixteenth round of the English Premier League, held at Selhurst Park.

The coach said in his speech: "It's a very difficult field. When we lose the ball, they launch great attacks, but we remained patient. We were lucky when Warton took a shot that hit the post, but we are very happy with the performance and the victory that strengthened our determination."

He added: "Erling is a striker capable of scoring goals, but in the second half, he prefers to keep possession of the ball. He was able to handle difficult situations and helped us stay composed. His performance in the second half was exceptional."

He continued, "In the first half, we were too hasty. We talked about the spaces we needed to attack, but we weren't patient enough. After that, we played at the desired pace."

He concluded: "Rayan Sharqi, with his high quality in the final attacking third, possesses sharp vision."
