Guardiola praises Manchester City's resilience as they draw with Arsenal

In a highly anticipated Premier League match, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Arsenal away. Coach Guardiola said after the game that although they failed to secure all three points, they were satisfied with the team's determination and mentality.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Haaland scored on a quick counterattack for Manchester City. City maintained their lead for a long time, withstanding immense pressure on the defensive end. However, in stoppage time, substitute Martinelli scored the equalizer for Arsenal.

Regarding the result of the game, Guardiola believed that the team had made great efforts. He said: "We have just experienced tough games against Manchester United and Napoli, which consumed a lot of physical and emotional energy. The players were still able to withstand the pressure and show resilience. I want to pay tribute to them."

"When the opponent is in better form, we have to use Haaland's speed and power to counterattack. It's not our usual style of play, but at this level, sometimes you have to make adjustments."

Guardiola also mentioned that the intensive schedule and injuries posed a huge challenge to the team: "John, Cherki, Ait Nouri and Nathan were all unable to play, and Husanov was injured during the game. We were very tired, but we still persevered to the end."

Despite failing to hold on to the victory, Guardiola believed that the 1-1 result was not unacceptable: "This score is better than last season and better than last week against Manchester United. Considering that we only had a few hours' rest before rushing from the Champions League to London, this is already a commendable performance."
