We understand, we completely understand the situation. I&#8217;m not saying we don&#8217;t understand that. We understand, the players understand, but it&#8217;s our duty&#8230; because the manager, the players it&#8217;s our focus to win games. Not about something different.&#8221;<br \/>\nIf the appeal is lost, what happens in your head then? <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;What if the appeal is won? It is the same, I don&#8217;t know. We are predicting the future. Again, you know I&#8217;m worried about tomorrow, in two-three days, I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening in the future. The only thing I can say today is that I think it&#8217;s fair that from my point of you, from all of us, to respect the process. The process, OK, verdict, there is an appeal ongoing, we see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">City fans would like you to stay if you lose the appeal. Pep joked about managing in League One, City fans would like you to say the same. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I won the Championship with Leicester. So League One, we are going to see. But again, we are thinking about something we don&#8217;t know.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Thomas Tuchel said he was worried about the psychological effect on the Manchester City players. Have you talked to the players about what it might be like for the rest of the season? <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Viewing the environment, inside the last few days, inside the building, no I&#8217;m not worried at all. The environment is from the players, is nice. In this moment we are top of the league so the players have all the reason to be happy and excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;Respect the process&#8217;published at 11:27 BST 11:27 BST Liverpool v Man City (Sun, 16:30 BST) Manchester City More&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-796957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
