Pep Guardiola compares Man City’s title push to serving for Wimbledon glory
Pep Guardiola compares Man City’s title push to serving for Wimbledon glory
Pep Guardiola has no plans to celebrate if Manchester City win the title without playing on Saturday and compared closing out the Premier League season to a tennis player serving for Wimbledon glory. City are on the brink of a fifth top-flight crown in six seasons and it will be confirmed before they next play if challengers Arsenal lose to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Guardiola insists he is not thinking about that prospect, however, and is focusing only on beating Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium to win it on the field themselves on Sunday. The City manager said: “I don’t think (we’ll be celebrating) because we have a game the day after and Chelsea deserve it. “In my mind, I’d like to feel we have to win to be champions. This is what we have to think. “We cannot control Nottingham and it doesn’t matter what happens in Nottingham. We have to do our job and win our game. “If we can win we can celebrate in the stadium with our people and that would be the best.” Wrapping up the title this weekend would cap a memorable week in which treble-chasing City reached the Champions League final with a stunning victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday. Now is coming the most difficult thing. Tennis players say to serve to win Wimbledon is the most difficult one. Pep Guardiola Guardiola says there has been little time to celebrate that achievement as he now tries to ensure City, who trailed Arsenal by eight points last month, see out the job in the Premier League. He said: “Of course we are satisfied to be able to play the Champions League final but it’s non-stop. “Now is coming the most difficult thing. Tennis players say to serve to win Wimbledon is the most difficult one. “On Sunday, the game is in our hands to win the most important competition. We’re lucky to have the chance to finish at home with our people. We have to take it.” Guardiola knows how difficult it can be to cross the line. In April 2018 they had to put celebrations on hold after surrendering a 2-0 lead to lose to Manchester United and last season they risked losing the title to Liverpool on the final day after falling behind to Aston Villa. Guardiola said: “I have a good memory. When we played against United to win the Premier League, 2-0 up at half-time and we lost the game. “Against Aston Villa we were 20 minutes away from losing the Premier League at home. So the last one is the most difficult one because there are a lot of emotions and many things. “You have to control it and be focused. We cannot be distracted right now. We will not forgive ourselves if we are distracted in something.” Despite those reservations, recent form suggests Guardiola has brought his players to the boil at just the right stage of the season. Such is their intensity that Guardiola and key player Kevin De Bruyne shouted at each other during the victory over Real Madrid, and the manager says he has no problems with that. He said: “The action with Kevin, I love it. We shout at each other. I like it. I like this step from Kevin. “Sometimes, in some games, it’s a little bit flat and I like this energy. This is what we need from him. After that he becomes the best. “It is not absolutely personal. These things must happen to be competitive and be a good team.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Jurgen Klopp hails departing quartet with special praise for Milner and Firmino Wigan deducted four points for next season after failing to pay players’ wages Definitely not – Gary O’Neil won’t let Bournemouth rest after securing survival

Wrexham plan talks with Ben Foster over whether he wants to carry on playing
Wrexham plan talks with Ben Foster over whether he wants to carry on playing
Wrexham are to hold talks with Ben Foster over whether the former England goalkeeper wants to prolong his career with them in the English Football League. Foster was retired for nine months until he answered a Wrexham SOS in March after regular goalkeeper Rob Lainton was ruled out for the rest of the campaign through injury. The 40-year-old played the final eight games of the season, saving a stoppage-time penalty in the crunch 3-2 victory over title rivals Notts County, as Wrexham won the National League with a record points total of 111. “A discussion will take place with Ben Foster to establish if his intention is to return to retirement or continue playing,” Wrexham said in a statement announcing their end of season release/retained list. Foster said last month he could extend his career after Wrexham ended a 15-year absence from the EFL under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. “You have to contemplate it because to be part of Wrexham is a special thing,” said Foster, who had a loan spell at the Welsh club in 2005 before going on to play for Manchester United, Watford, Birmingham and West Brom. “It’s nice to be a man of leisure and freedom and I really enjoyed my retirement. I had a great time for nine months. “But everybody who plays here can see that Wrexham is a really special club.” Wrexham have extended Paul Mullin’s contract by a further season following promotion. Mullin has scored 76 goals since joining from Cambridge in the summer of 2021, 47 of them coming last season. Mark Howard and Anthony Forde have also had one-season contract extensions and Liam McAlinden will be offered a new deal. Wrexham will exercise the option to keep Scott Butler and Aaron James. Harry Lennon is to retire from playing due to injury, while Reece Hall-Johnson, Jake Hyde and Rory Watson are among other players to be released.
