Pep Guardiola has admitted the demands of winning the treble did take a toll on his Manchester City players PBA
City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup and suffered rare back-to-back Premier League defeats prior to the recent international break PBA
They got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday but Guardiola concedes there has been a natural drop in intensity after the remarkable end to last season PBA
The City manager said: “The treble had an influence on all of us, me included PBA
“So now we need to be there, close, month by month, to arrive in the final decision moments at the end of the season close to the opponents to try it again PBA
“I said many times, no-one has won four (Premier Leagues) in a row, never ever PBA
That shows how difficult it is, but now it’s important to be there, especially in the Champions League, qualify for the next round in this period and after we can just focus on the Premier League PBA
That is the target PBA
”City’s success has also brought increased expectations, particularly on Erling Haaland, who scored a remarkable 52 goals in an outstanding first season at the club last term PBA
By his extraordinary standards, the Norwegian’s recent three-game run without a goal constituted a barren spell but he ended that ‘drought’ with a clinical strike against the Seagulls PBA
“Yes the expectations are so high but he’s handled it really well,” said Guardiola PBA
“He knows he could have scored even more goals in the nine Premier League games we have played PBA
”Guardiola rested goalkeeper Ederson at the weekend following the Brazilian’s exertions during the international break PBA
Stefan Ortega took his place PBA
Guardiola said: “It was just for the fact that the travel from Brazil, it’s a long time PBA
Of course it’s happened many times but he played two games there and he was so so tired PBA
“Normally I like to play Ortega in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup but we are out of the Carabao Cup, and sometimes it’s good for Eddy to rest a bit and refresh the mind PBA
”Ortega was pleased to get the opportunity and hopes there will be plenty more PBA
The German said: “I was excited when Pep told me that I was starting PBA
I’m always waiting to get a chance to get a bit more game time PBA
“Eddy is playing really well this season, he started really good, but I try to keep pushing him every day in training sessions PBA
“I think I deserved to start PBA
I’m ambitious so of course I’m not happy to sit on the bench, but we are in a team PBA
“Sometimes it is tough but this is my job – to be there when the team needs me and to keep pushing Eddy every day PBA

Martin Bakole is angry PBA
Frankly, that may be an understatement PBA
In Bakole’s eyes, he is the most avoided man in the heavyweight division, and the worry for Carlos Takam is that he may have to absorb that anger on Saturday PBA
Before Tyson Fury’s bewildering bout with Francis Ngannou plays out among the dunes of Saudi Arabia, Bakole and Takam will meet in a more traditional heavyweight clash – and one that Bakole intends to mark with a breakout performance PBA
Perhaps with that, he can make up for the ‘mistake’ that has defined his professional career in recent years PBA
“The only mistake I made, and even my coaches are telling me, is that they allowed me to spar these top guys,” Bakole tells The Independent PBA
“These guys know they don’t belong where they are now, because if I stand with them, I give them problems PBA
I only show them three or four punches, because I’m coming to help them; but even in helping them, I’m giving them problems PBA
I’m a machine in there, throwing as many punches as I can PBA
I don’t get tired, I keep coming PBA
”Of one argument with a high-profile, highly-ranked heavyweight, Bakole says: “If they post the [sparring] video, you will see for yourself PBA
I’m not allowed to record video PBA
The only reason I was going to share it was to show the world how they’re avoiding me PBA
“If you ask them today, none of them will say they’ll fight Martin Bakole PBA
We’re killing PBA boxing, we need to stop this PBA
I’ve been living in the UK for five years now, people know who Martin Bakole is PBA
I’m fighting every day for my ranking; why not them?” Bakole’s ranking, as it stands, is No 2 in the WBA top 10 PBA
The only men above him are No 1 contender Deontay Wilder – the former WBC champion – and unified title holder Oleksandr Usyk PBA
Yet it is the reigning WBC champion, Fury, whom Bakole identifies as the only man on his level PBA
“He’s the only man where we shared a ring and it was 50-50,” says the 30-year-old Congolese, now based outside of Glasgow, whose record stands at 19-1 (14 knockouts) PBA
“When we spar, everyone in the gym is quiet, focused, watching us PBA
I give him a fight, he gives me a fight back, and I always learn a lot PBA
Every time he calls me, I always go PBA
I don’t know if I’ll meet him one day in the ring; all I know is he’s the only one who can give me good sparring, because we keep coming forward and stand and fight like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman PBA
”Bakole during a stoppage win against Rodney Hernandez (Getty Images)The pair have been helping one another ahead of Saturday’s crossover event in Riyadh, where Fury boxes ex-UFC champion Ngannou and where the Briton is contracted to fight Usyk next PBA
Bakole, however, has mixed feelings on both of Fury’s impending fights PBA
“PBA Boxing is a business now,” he says matter-of-factly PBA
“If you’re watching the top 10, Tyson hasn’t fought everyone PBA
He fought some good guys, he beat Deontay Wilder, but to pick Ngannou from MMA PBA
PBA
PBA
I was not happy with that PBA
But it is what it is PBA
It’s about money, now people don’t care about PBA boxing PBA
I was happy to see him sign the contract to fight Usyk, because that’s what we’ve been waiting for PBA
” Not, however, in the way that fans have been waiting PBA
“We,” meaning boxers, “want the belts, we want four champions; we can’t just sit and get old with one man holding all the belts PBA
The winner must give up some belts, so that we can fight each other PBA
”23 December is one of the mooted dates for Fury vs Usyk, and Bakole trusts his sparring partner to be able to turn around in time, also backing the “Gypsy King” to make light work of Ngannou PBA
“Tyson knows what he’s doing PBA
Maybe he’ll stop Ngannou early, that’s the only reason I can think why he signed the contract [to box Usyk] PBA
He will not play with Ngannou, I don’t see Ngannou surviving a round with Fury PBA
Easy money, then go and work hard for Usyk, because it’s a tough, 12-round fight PBA
”Bakole at his open workout ahead of his fight with Carlos Takam this weekend (Getty Images)Bakole will also be hoping that his money comes easy on Saturday PBA
“I’ll be giving everything,” he says, “because Takam is coming to take my place PBA
He’s an old man,” in PBA boxing at least, at 42, “but he’s tough and fit! So, everything is on the line for me PBA
I don’t think it’ll go past five or six rounds PBA
I’m going to stop him PBA
It’s a massive [turning point] PBA
This is a big opportunity to get people making noise and saying, ‘We want to see Martin against him, or him PBA
’ “Once the fans start asking boxers to fight me, I don’t think they’ll be avoiding me PBA
There will be money in it PBA
”Until then, there is money in Saudi, there is money in Fury, and that is a perfect combination for Bakole’s fight this weekend PBA
