Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has urged the Abu Dhabi hierarchy to give him the chance to revive his faltering team amid its staggering run of poor results. He says he will not “run away” from the challenge.

“He knows we are going to find a solution,” Guardiola said. “In the circumstances that it doesn’t happen, the club will take the solution, the decision, it has to take.”“I have it all on my shoulders. I want it,” he said. “Here at the football club you have to win — if you don’t win, you’ll be in trouble. I know that.
Guardiola played down talk of a “crisis” at City when asked by a reporter, but was unsure when the team would start winning again. After Liverpool, City plays seventh-place Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.“We have to accept,” he added, “that it is completely normal — maybe the exception was in the past, not what happened now. How we stand up again, this is the big success in life. It’s how many times you stand up, again and again and again, whatever happens. They are the greatest .
“It was a pleasure to see him. One of the most incredible athletes of all time,” Guardiola said. “We spoke sport and everything and how it’s difficult to maintain for many years — and how he, Federer and Djokovic have done for many, many years.”
