After the derby battle, Guardiola s pressure continues: the next two games will be decisive

For Guardiola, the next competition problem is really under pressure. The Manchester City Derby performed well, but the situation they will face next is really not optimistic. In addition to temporarily alleviating the pressure in this derby battle, they have suffered two consecutive losses before, and they will face top opponents, namely the first Champions League match against Naples on September 18, and the away match against Arsenal on September 21.
These two games can be regarded as an important direction for Manchester City's new season's Champions League and the road to winning the championship in the season. Napoli was the owner of the Serie A championship last season. For Guardiola, his strength is naturally comparable to the new coach Conte. However, the opponent's morale is strong and he is facing a situation where the wounded soldiers are full of the camp. In addition, the four major problems of last season are empty, which will indeed create greater pressure.

For Naples, especially Conte himself, he must prove that he is not an amateur in the European War and that it is an opportunity to face Guardiola.
In comparison, although I am very familiar with Arteta, the momentum of the opponent's championship competition is indeed much better than that of himself. Guardiola may not have such a big chance of winning for his former losers, so these two games are very difficult for Manchester City. Considering the previous embarrassment, if Guardiola still cannot produce a good game level in the next game, the board of directors will naturally evaluate his coaching position.

Although they still have 99.999% recognition of Guardiola, those who have interviewed in various types also support him to continue coaching. However, if this wealthy family continues to be in this state after a long-term huge investment, I believe that even Guardiola will not continue to be unconditionally trusted by the top leaders. For him, where will Lan Yue's career go, and will encounter new tests next. If they can pass smoothly, Manchester City's confidence will improve a lot, which will be very helpful for their return to their former state. On the contrary, if you can't perform well, it will be very bad.
