So 11 against 11, really difficult, hard, but my boys very well organized, great effort, great discipline.
We know how we can score goals.
We know how we cannot score goals.
So we were waiting for our chances and then with one player more, I know that they are top quality, I know that one player less is not a big deal for them, the way they move the ball, the way they give dynamic to their game.
But in that moment we had our chances to score and we did and very important three points for us.
I see when the decision is a red card.
I see the red card of Son against Chelsea.
For me, it's a direct red card.
He's the champion.
He's a fantastic team with players technically really, really, really, really good.
We don't have the capacity to play with a front man that holds the ball and allows us to come out of the pressure and to keep ball possession.
When we recover the ball, we have only one way to get out.
And that's not keeping possession of the ball.
So against City...
They love the ball.
They know better than anyone to know what to do with the ball.
So when they have the ball for the majority of the time, it's hard.
But I think fantastic performances, great concentration.
I think the way Celso and Winks, they control Kevin De Bruyne, the movements that he does in these areas and Lo Celso, the way
He controls also that position where Sterling comes inside and Gudongan supports there.
