Guardiola: He will invite Ferguson and Wenger to dinner in Manchester, or ask Mourinho to go out for dinner

But you should know that you have only played 7 games in the Premier League. According to my experience, the season is far from the foregone conclusion - three weeks ago, someone said that Liverpool had locked in the championship, hasn't it changed now? The competition in the Premier League is very fierce. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all strong teams, and Bournemouth and Brighton also play well.

So for us, the key is to keep improving. Only by improving offense and defensive performance can we compete for the championship as usual - except last season -.

Considering the league ranking you mentioned just now, and it can be seen in the first two months that other teams are increasing their strength - do you think this season and even in the future, the score line and championship winning score line of the top four in the Premier League will be reduced?

I don't know. To be honest, some people said in the previous seasons that "the mid-range team has become stronger", but I can't predict what the specific score line will be. It is hard to say that one team may suddenly usher in a row of winning streaks, and the other may suddenly be down, and the competition will only become increasingly fierce.

Your work is brave because you can always predict what will happen next, such as "should do this" and "should do that", but I can't do it. For example, I don’t know what will happen in the next game against Everton, so you still have to predict it.

For me, it is too early to analyze and draw conclusions in 7 games - the season is very long, and there will be many variables such as injuries, ups and downs in the state. But I can feel that many of our performances in Monaco were very good, and today the team's overall defense was more stable than that game.

Although we have not been able to maintain our best condition for 90 minutes, after all, the opponent's confrontation intensity and psychological pressure are great, the team is indeed getting better.

Although you say the season is still long and it is too early to talk about the championship, there are two key nodes today - Haaland's goal and Donnarumma's save. Do you think we have an advantage in the two key positions of forward line and goalkeeper pounce?

Guardiola: Yes, we have top forwards and top goalkeepers, which is true.

But we also need to see that we wasted a lot of clear scoring opportunities in the first half, and if we could grasp it, the second half would not be so difficult - it was very similar to when we played against Monaco, when we hit the post twice, and there were still many scoring opportunities that were not captured and were eventually tied by our opponents, and we did a very poor job of set pieces defense at the time.

But today is different. We know that Brentford's long-range ball is an advantage, and we also focused on discussing it before the game, so we did a lot better on the defensive end.

But you are right. Haaland is on the front line and Donnarumma is on the goalkeeper position, which is indeed two important guarantees for us.
