The former Barcelona manager also offered his perspective on the team's current challenges. "We can't talk about the results we achieved in the past, we can't think about big objectives. It would be a big mistake. The goal is to try to win against a team that is close to us, take advantage of them and get closer to the top four. We have to try to win games and then we'll see what happens. We're not far from second place, but it's the way you play and your consistency that makes you optimistic for the future," Guardiola explained.

Guardiola's comments suggest that the club is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to make adjustments to the squad if necessary. While the manager has remained optimistic about the team's chances of turning things around, he has also acknowledged the need to be realistic and focus on the task at hand.

Key points from Guardiola's statements:
