José Mourinho pulled out of the game after Manchester United lost the derby 12 points behind the leader of the Premier League.
For almost all observers of Etihad Stadium, the match was controlled by City Manchester United manager saw things differently. Although his team's goal was the only penalty in the second half, Anthony Martial scored in response to David Silva and Sergio Aguero's goals, but he denied the score of 3-1.
"If the third goal is scored in one of the moments when they dominated, I would probably say it, but it comes at a time when we were in the struggle for equalization," he said. Mourinho insisted that United had given "no negative performance at all" and added, "If you focus on the match today, it will remain open for about 80 minutes." The players have no favor when City faced Southampton and Shakhtar Donetsk at home.
"The match, he said, was opened in one week. everything is fine and we play two games away, difficult where the second was like a final against one of the best teams in Europe where we give everything physically, mentally.
The absence of injured Paul Pogba also disrupted United, Mourinho pointed out. "We were to play [Marouane] Fellaini and he was not ready to play for 90 minutes. I can imagine that when the result was 2-1 to bring in a new Fellaini, I think that they would be in the biggest trouble. For various reasons, we missed Paul, but that does not mean that Paul wins the match, so it's not an excuse.
And what about statistics? City had 66% of possession and 16 shots on United. "The way people who do not understand football badyze it with statistics. I do not go for statistics. I go for what I felt in the game and it was there until the 80-something minute. I consider the performance of my team with errors. It's different from a bad performance.
Raheem Sterling's jumps in the final seconds aroused the anger of Juan Mata, who seemed to blame the star's striker, and Pep Guardiola confronted the English international at the end. "He did some leg movements, we can avoid him, but he's young and he's going to improve," said City manager.
Guardiola was not entirely satisfied with the performance of his team, whose third goal came from Ilkay Gündogan. . "The first half is not so good," he said. "We played like," I do not want to lose the ball "but I do not want to attack or do anything, I feel when I look at my players, a team that feels a bit of pressure. They want to be successful in the derby, that's normal
"Despite that, we were stable, we scored a goal, the first 15 minutes were so good, and after that we did not support it so well. play more than usual, but in the second half we start a lot, a lot better. "
