MANCHESTER www.thetopsoccer.com/national-team-kit/spain , England (AP) — Pep Guardiola dismissed as “fantasy” the notion of his Manchester City players winning the quadruple this season.It’s certainly a long shot but, on current form, it’s hard to see how or when they’ll next be beaten.City swept past fellow English Premier League team Burnley 5-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, extending its run of wins to eight in all competitions. In that streak, the team has 33 goals and has not conceded a goal in the last six games — a first under Guardiola.Kevin De Bruyne scored one goal — a powerful strike from the edge of the box — and had a hand in two others, with Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, and Sergio Aguero scoring along with an own-goal.“Who is going to stop them winning everything if they are in that mood?” Burnley manager Sean Dyche asked.City is second in the Premier League, four points behind Liverpool, and into the final of the English League Cup against Chelsea on Feb. 24. It also is through to the last 16 of the Champions League and was handed a favorable match against German outsider Schalke.Guardiola is managing to rotate his squad for games in this fixture pileup without his starting team losing any of its fluidity. City’s bench against Burnley, for example Cheap USA Soccer Team Uniform , contained Aguero, David Silva, Raheem Sterling, and Leroy Sane. The latter two weren’t even needed as City made it 108 goals in 36 games for the season, an average of exactly three per match.“Everyone has been involved this month. Everybody plays,” Guardiola said. “All together, we can achieve it, arriving at the latter stages (of the season) in the right moment. It’s the only way I understand when you are in four competitions.”The FA Cup is the only domestic competition Guardiola has yet to win in England, after capturing the Premier League and League Cup last season. An embarrassing fifth-round loss to third-tier Wigan was one of City’s few low points last season and Guardiola is taking the FA Cup seriously this time around.“I’m really pleased, for the commitment and the professionalism,” the Spanish coach said. “We have a lot of games https://www.thetopsoccer.com/uswnt/ashlyn-harris-jersey , not just in our legs, but in our minds.”De Bruyne, who missed most of the first half of the season after suffering two knee injuries, was hugely impressive in his third start in the space of a week. The Belgium playmaker wants to play as often as possible to improve his match sharpness and he appears to be getting back to his best.“It’s not easy for players when they’ve been a long time injured, for the rhythm, for the pace,” Guardiola said. “You can believe you are ready because you train but you need time. That is why we try to handle the minutes.“But we know what Kevin is and we need him. He is clever, he saw passes, he is so aggressive in his game. That is why he helped us a lot.” Unable to fathom his team’s second-half capitulation, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri kept his players in the locker room for around an hour after a humiliating 4-0 loss at Bournemouth on Wednesday.His assistants weren’t allowed in the room. The media was kept waiting. Sarri simply wanted answers.“I needed to understand,” Sarri said. “It’s impossible to play in such a different way between the first and second half. I don’t understand why.”Sarri even started to question himself.“Maybe it’s my fault Christen Press Jersey ,” he added, “maybe I’m not able to motivate them.”From 0-0 at halftime, Chelsea conceded four goals to slump to its heaviest loss so far in Sarri’s turbulent reign. It’s back-to-back league defeats for Chelsea, which was outplayed in a 2-0 loss at Arsenal 11 days earlier.That led to a coruscating attack from Sarri on his players’ attitude and mentality. It hasn’t had the desired effect, with Chelsea now out of the top four — on goals scored below Arsenal — in the race to secure one of the four Champions League qualification positions.Without one of them, Sarri surely won’t survive more than a season at Stamford Bridge.Chelsea has long since exited the title race, which was thought to be down to two teams — Liverpool and Manchester City. However, Liverpool failed to fully capitalize on City’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle on Tuesday by only drawing 1-1 at home to Leicester a day later, giving Juergen Klopp’s team a five-point lead when it could have been seven.Now there might be a third team in contention, with Tottenham rallying to a 2-1 win over Watford to close to within seven points of Liverpool.
