Pep Guardiola Issues Special Tribute to Everton Ahead of Final Goodison Park Visit
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has paid a special tribute to Everton ahead of the club’s final visit to Goodison Park this weekend. Guardiola praised the iconic stadium’s unique atmosphere, saying it’s “so special like all traditional stadiums here in England.”
Guardiola also acknowledged Everton’s resurgence this season under David Moyes, recognizing the impact he’s had on the team. “The results speak for itself,” Guardiola said. “I think Sean Dyche made an incredible job as well; I don’t forget how Sean took over the club or the team in that moment when it was in a difficult position, and avoided relegation.”
Guardiola also praised Moyes’ experience and achievements with the Toffees. “The impact from David, for his experience, and he made an incredible job at West Ham in his last one, I think in all his career.”
Manchester City’s visit to Goodison Park is the first of three crucial fixtures, followed by a midweek contest against Aston Villa and an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Wembley.
Guardiola’s team will be looking to secure vital points in their pursuit of Champions League qualification, with competition for the top-five spot hotly contested among several teams.
