Pep Guardiola hopes that Manchester City will reduce the damage from their season in the underground with a win in the FA Cup and stated that his side will be better next year.
City failed to run into the fifth consecutive Premier League title and instead find themselves in the Champions League qualification qualification.
Salvation could come in the form of a Cup in which the city in the second semifinals turned in the second semifinal, in the second semifinals, 24 hours after Aston Villa takes over the crystal palace.
And until this would cure all the scars from the exhaustive campaign, Guardiola says that would surely help their path to recovery.
He said, “The season was not good, regardless of the FA Cup finals or going to the Champions League. But of course, we would avoid more damage to the club.
“From my point of view, what dictates if the season is a good premier league, all the time. Because it gives you a week to week, happiness, momentum and FA Cup, Champions League – the keeper saves, not saving, failure to punish, not Miss makes a difference. But the premiere league was good.
“But it could be worse, could it not be fifth, fourth, third as now, it could be worse. We are in our hands in the position, we have this incredible opportunity to be three FA Cup finals in a row, and after we have a few days to play against Wolves. We hope we can do it.”

We’ll get back – Pep
He added, “The next season will be better. I think everyone has learned a lesson, and next season we will compete in the Premier League a little better than this season.
“I’m not saying we’re going to win the Premier League, coming to the last stages of the Champions League, FA Cup or Carabao Cup, because we won’t have holidays and I don’t know how to react, but I think players even realize what they have to do to be decent.
“I know the players and the club and we will come back.”
FA Cup Win would be a nice way to take de bruyne going – Pep
Winning the FA Cup would be a nice way to get Kevin de Bruyne this morning from the city with reports, suggesting that Belgian will refuse the opportunity to stay at the FIFA club World Cup in June.
“Of course, it would be,” Guardiola said. “He proved the amount of minutes he played from the announcement that the last month is here in Manchester City, the obligation he is playing with, if, would be good.”
Guardiola did not exclude the chances that Rodri and Erling Haaland would return to the FA Cup finals, he should get the city there, but he rejected the chances that Eerson goalkeeper would play against Forest.
He said, “Eddy is coming back and training a little, but I don’t know if he will be ready for this game. I hope for the next one.”

Guardiola not underestimating the forest
City will aim to reach the third consecutive FA Cup final, but Guardiola knows that it will not be directly against the forest side, which has exceeded expectations this season.
“We have a serious and hard, hard rival,” he said. “People and fans Nottingham Forest, it’s been a long time since they played semi -finals of the FA Cup, but for many years we have been there in the competition.
“He (Boss Nuno Espirito Santo) was amazing, qualified for the Europa League with Wolves, and now with Nottingham Forest. He did a really good job.
“The guys have good skills, and I admire that they are well defended and have a good spirit. They have a transition with the top, top players in advance. The owner invests with top, top players. The results are here.”
