Guardiola: If we rely on Erling’s shoulders, we will not win the Champions League

Added at:

Josep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, is preparing to face Sevilla in today's Champions league game:

“Sevilla won't be concerned with just defending. We have to be prepared because they will be aggressive. This competition is played with a lot of enthusiasm. More so in a stadium like this one. We have to be prepared for that. We have to crank up the pace. Always teams in Spain are so tough. We try and do a good game and get the three points.

If we rely on Erling’s shoulders, we will not win the Champions League. Hopefully, we can do it. He came here because we convinced him. We didn’t have strikers and he felt he could play with us.

He has settled well, like with Julian and the other new players. I understand completely why everyone is talking about Erling but I have six new players and I want them to settle as quickly as possible. We won't win just because of Erling but he has a special talent, and he can help us solve problems, definitely. But if we don't play well, we will not win.”
