Guardiola gets spiky with Liverpool over City 肩書を与える 競争
MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Pep Guardiola has become irritated over Liverpool's stature and he wants everyone to know it.
After seeing his Manchester City 味方する go three points （疑いを）晴らす of Liverpool, Guardiola 開始する，打ち上げるd an 爆発 that gives this 肩書を与える 競争 a more spiky 辛勝する／優位 with three games remaining.
"Everyone in this country supports Liverpool," Guardiola said after City 大勝するd Newcastle 5-0 on Sunday. "The マスコミ and everyone."
It was a groundless （人命などを）奪う，主張する and an approach the prickly 経営者／支配人 carried over from a 地位，任命する-match beIN Sports television interview into the news 会議／協議会.
It had been a 決まりきった仕事 開始 question that Guardiola 直面するd about whether he was "ecstatic" with the 業績／成果 after City's 崩壊（する） at Real Madrid in the 支持する／優勝者s League 準決勝.

That （人命などを）奪う，主張する was 反駁するd as another reporter exposed his actual 明らかな 忠誠s.
Maybe it was just a motivational 機械装置 to 刺激（する） his players or just his own insecurities. But it was （疑いを）晴らす on Sunday that Guardiola was trying to cast his team - one of the richest in the world - as the underdog compared to Liverpool.
This is a City 味方する that has won five 首相 League 肩書を与えるs since ending a 44-year 肩書を与える 干ばつ in 2012.
Liverpool only ended a 30-year 干ばつ in 2020 but it is the 19-time 支持する／優勝者 of England, only one behind Manchester 部隊d's 記録，記録的な／記録する.
City is on seven English 肩書を与えるs and is yet to be 栄冠を与えるd 支持する／優勝者s of Europe which Liverpool can be for a seventh time by （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing Real Madrid in the 支持する／優勝者s League final on May 28.

"Liverpool has an incredible history behind (it) in European 競争 - not in 首相 Leagues, because they´ve won one in 30 years - but it´s not a problem at all," Guardiola said, explaining why he believed the マスコミ was on the 味方する of City's 競争相手. "The 状況／情勢 is what it is."
It has taken Abu Dhabi 投資 into City since 2008 to elevate the team's status in the 全世界の game and 現れる from the 影をつくる／尾行する of once-支配的な neighbor 部隊d. There were fresh 報告（する）／憶測s on Sunday, not 言及／関連d by Guardiola, about the long-standing 首相 League 調査 into whether City 違反d 財政上の 支配するs to 支払う／賃金 for its squad and glory.
"I know we are いつかs uncomfortable, but I don´t care," Guardiola said. "The people want Liverpool to 勝利，勝つ more than us. It´s not an 問題／発行する. It´s normal. Mayb e they have more 支持者s all around the world and in England maybe more support Liverpool than us.
"But the question is today, before the start of the game, the people 元気づける and supporting us they know that even 存在 out of the 支持する／優勝者s League, we can rely on those players."
