Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted that his squad remains a work in progress despite a costly overhaul since last season.
The Spanish coach made the comments after the Citizens secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Guardiola highlighted that the team is in a stronger position compared to last term.
“Many things we have to improve. Madrid gave me a lot of things, that still we are not ready, not in mentality but in how to approach certain games. They are young some of the players. But 3-0 here is a big statement for us.
“When you win in the past, you believe the past was perfect, always brilliant, always the red carpet. When we won with 100 points, all the things we achieved, we had a lot of games like today. The resilience was part of that.
“There are moments that you struggle. Madrid was not the perfect game, but it was a step. We fought unbelievably to achieve that.
“We are in a better position than last season. We are close in the competitions we are in.”
