Manchester City coach Guardiola said, "This game is almost like a final. We said so before the game. Regardless of the result, our primary goal is to advance. Our attitude is consistent. Whether it is a friendly match or an official match, we will do our best to win. We did it, which makes me very satisfied."

"The players all know that this is the first time we have played like this in a long time. We made some adjustments and the team showed a high level of performance against a very strong opponent. We had a good lineup last season, but we were plagued by injuries. 50% of the players were unable to play and could not compete at all. In the new season, we must work hard to keep the rhythm."

Guardiola stressed, "Although we have already qualified, if we want to win the Club World Cup, we must beat the strongest opponent. It doesn't matter whether we meet it earlier or later. The important thing is that we have proved ourselves again. The players have this feeling, I don't need to say much, they know we can play like we did in the past 10 years again."

"We hope to stay in this tournament for a longer time. We are currently based in Boca Raton, which is a great place, and we hope to keep that pace in every game. If we keep this pace, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose. We can't win every game in the competition, but we have to find ourselves again."

Guardiola also said: "Of course we want to win the Club World Cup, but more importantly we have to reunite, just like we did last season."
