Manchester City director Pep Guardiola insists he is still happy at the club.
City are in the Premier League in their lowest position since the end of the very first season in 2017 of Guardiola – and a 3-1 loss to Liverpool left them two points behind the Reds.
Why should folks believe I am not satisfied? Since we lost at Anfield or I have lost three matches this year? He said before Saturdays match.
Thats an odd reason to say I am happy or fulfilled – I want to stay.
After winning back names and crushing goals and points records across the way last year, Guardiola insists hes liking thechallenge of the season.
When they became the first club English top-flight history to reach 100 the Premier League points record struck in 2017-18. It required another 98 to edge Liverpool out term.
In their current place, Guardiola understands the probability of City joining Arsenal, Huddersfield, Liverpool and Manchester United because the real ones to win championships in a row are somewhat slim.
But that only fuels his passion and Guardiola says he is intent on seeing the rest of his contract, which expires in least, in 2021 out.
We dont have a joker in our own pocket, he said.
I know, all over the world, people are saying the Premier League is completed.

Guardiola background makes him.
Yet less than six months later accepting Tottenham into the initial Champions League final in their history, the departure of Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, underlined if results go supervisors can come under intense pressure.
Furthermore, the understanding that Guardiola resigned as Barcelona manager in 2012 after four decades at the job, citing burnout, has created uncertainty around the Catalan, resulting in suggestions his period in Manchester may come to a sudden ending in the end of the present effort, his fourth in England.
Guardiola couldnt be more powerful in his denials.
I wish to stay in this city, he explained.
There are lovely individuals here. I want to work and live together. I want to help this team get better.
The City boss was not able to be confident concerning the merits of his group.
After he was asked why this was the case, given performances and results have been patchy this season, Guardiola oozed defiance.
I find things you cannot, he said. I am there at each training session. I am in the locker area. Im at the games. I have plans. They work and we do not win. They are a tragedy and we are doing. I have the info. That is why
