Important to suffer and win: Guardiola
Manchester, Nov 27 (IANS) Manchester City chief coach Pep Guardiola said it is important to suffer and still win in the English Premier League (EPL) after clinching victory by a slender 2-1 margin over Huddersfield Town.
Forward Raheem Sterling’s late winner on Sunday helped Manchester City go eight points clear after 13 matches in the EPL table.
“We have to be in trouble because when you are 1-0 down you have to know how to live with that situation. To win the Premier League, you have to live through these kind of games,” the Spaniard was quoted as saying by The Guardian.
“It’s a big positive because we showed a lot of focus. That is why I am so happy. It was a real Premier League (EPL) game — we played against a tough team and winter has come, but we did it and now we can continue.
“It definitely gives me more satisfaction, we need to win games in that way. It is so important that you have to suffer and still be able to win the game. We made an outstanding performance in that sense,” Guardiola added.
The victory over Huddersfield Town also helped Manchester City become the first team in 25 years of the EPL to accumulate 37 points from their opening 13 games.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
