Manchester City ayaa soo gabagabeysay xilli ciyaareed iyagoo aan wax koob ah hanteen markii labaad oo kaliya tan iyo markii Pep Guardiola uu maamulka la wareegay Etihad Stadium sanadkii 2016.
Pep Guardiola ayaa qirtay in Manchester City ay “meelo fog” u jirto horyaalka Premier League Liverpool, isla markaana uusan damaanad qaadi karin in kooxdiisu ay la tartami doonto Reds horyaalka xilli ciyaareedka soo socda.
City – oo horyaalka England ku guuleysatay afartii xilli ciyaareed ee ugu dambeysay – ayaa 13 dhibcood ka dambeysay kooxda Arne Slot ka dib xilli ciyaareed adag oo 2024-25 ah.
Tirada 71 dhibcood ee Citizens waxay ahayd tii ugu hooseysay tan iyo markii Guardiola uu maamulka la wareegay Etihad Stadium bishii July 2016, halka ay xilli ciyaareedka ku soo dhameysteen iyagoo aan wax koob ah hanteen markii labaad oo kaliya intii uu xilka hayay.
Hoos u dhac ku yimid qaab ciyaareedka qeybta dhexe ee xilli ciyaareedka ayaa sababay in City ay ka baxdo tartanka horyaalka Premier League, halka ay sidoo kale si degdeg ah uga hareen Champions League, ka hor inta aysan guuldarro kala kulmin Crystal Palace finalka FA Cup.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kooxda Guardiola ayaa xaqiijisatay inay ciyaari doonaan Champions League markii 15aad oo xiriir ah, taasoo ay ugu wacneyd guul 2-0 ah oo ay ka gaareen Fulham maalintii ugu dambeysay.
Laakiin Guardiola ayaa shaki ka muujiyay haddii City ay awood u yeelan doonto inay dib ugu soo laabato tartanka horyaalka Premier League xilli ciyaareedka soo socda.
“Ma aqaan. Weligay ma aanan filaynin inaan ku guuleysan doonno lix horyaal oo Premier League ah toddoba sano gudahood,” ayuu yiri. “Laakiin haddii aad filaneyso inaan hadda kuu sheego in xilli ciyaareedka soo socda aan ku guuleysan doonno Premier League, waad qaldan tahay.
“Tan iyo markii aan imid kooxdan, waxaan ku dhameysanay in ka badan 80 dhibcood, xilli ciyaareedkan, waxaan ku dhameysanay 71, marka taasi waxay meelo fog ka fog tahay heerarkeenna. Waxayna dhacday sababo badan awgood.
“Ciyaaraha iyo kubadda cagta waxay ku siinayaan fursad kale, waxaana raadineynaa inaan is cadeyno.
“Laakiin waxaan meelo fog u jirnaa Liverpool. Taasi waa xaqiiqda. Waxaan dareemayaa in xilli ciyaareedka soo socda uu noqon doono mid ka fiican, laakiin ma aqaan sida aan uga jawaabi doonno ka dib Koobka Club World Cup. Waxaan noqon doonnaa kuwo daalan iyadoo aan fasax la’aan lahayn ka hor xilli ciyaareedka soo socda.
“Waa inaan kacnaa oo aan kordhinaa heerkeenna, haddii kale ma tartami doonno si aan ugu dagaallanno koobabka. Laakiin haddii aan taam nahay, waan isku dayi doonnaa, waana soo dhowaan doonnaa.”
City ayaa sagootisay Kevin De Bruyne ka dib 10 xilli ciyaareed oo cajiib ah oo uu ku qaatay Etihad Stadium, halka mustaqbalka Jack Grealish uu sidoo kale yahay mid si weyn loo hadal hayo.
Guardiola ayaa filaya inuu xoojiyo kooxdiisa ciyaartoy cusub, laakiin ma arko isagoo sameynaya isbeddel ballaaran.
“Ma qabo dareenkaas,” ayuu ku daray. “Waxaan haystaa 24 ciyaartoy waxaanan arkay iyagoo tababar qaadanaya maalintii kale waxaana iri: ‘Oh Ilaahayow, sidee bay u fiican yihiin?!’
“Wajiyo cusub ayaa imaan doona, gaar ahaan boosaska aan ku liidanno, laakiin uma maleynayo inaan u baahanahay wax badan. Waxaan haynaa koox wanaagsan, mana doonayo ciyaartoy badan.
“Laakiin, waan arki doonnaa. Xagaaga waa dheer yahay. Waxaa jiri doona ciyaartoy ogaan doona inaysan ciyaareyn oo doonaya inay baxaan. Laakiin taasi hadda ma ahan shaqadeyda. Waxaan u soo baxay Champions League, inta kalena waxay leedahay kooxda.”
