Guardiola: 'For the second half, we forgot to play!'

The Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola was not pleased with his team`s performance in a 1:2 loss from Basel in the 1/8 final according argentina rankings in the Champions League. The defeat was not fatal for the Citizens because of the success in the first game with 4:0, but it is not pleasant for the Spaniard and the fans of the team. The specialist said he was not happy with the game in the second half. `Tomorrow we will be happy to be in the 1/4-finals for the second time in history, and we are already in this phase and we can be proud of the first half we stood well, but in the second part we forgotto attack, forgot to play, we just gave our ball, and the passing of the ball is important to outsmart your opponent and to attack, the mere passing is unhelpful, the second half was pretty bad, we just fought each other but that was not football`Guardiola said.

Gabriel Jesse returned to this game as the title holder after having suffered a knee injury in the New Year. He even scored with a goal. It was important for him to record a full 90 minutes. He fought hard but he was lacking in rhythm When you did not play for a long time, you need a rhythm to get back, Of course, the goal scored will give him confidence!`, added the Spaniard.
