Pep Guardiola working even 'more obsessively' to find solution to Man City struggles as goalkeeper Stefan Ortega says English champions can achieve something 'worth more than another Premier League title' this season

Premier League

Manchester City

Everton

<p>Defending Premier League champions City are in the midst of a horrendous run of fixtures, with Guardiola's side sitting in fifth place in the table and already nine points behind leaders Liverpool. The Catalan tactician has been working tirelessly to recoup the downhill season and Ortega believes they are working towards something 'worth more than another Premier League title'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/stefan-ortega-spricht-ueber-pep-guardiola-und-die-krise-bei-manchester-city/13276365/34942" target="_blank"><em>Sky Germany</em></a> about Guardiola, Ortega said: "He doesn’t like losing, but he is very willing to find a solution. Nobody can tell me that the coach who previously dominated all of England is suddenly too bad.</p><p>"Perhaps he is looking for a solution a little more obsessively. He is still close to being perfect all the time. I find him quite positive. He is really good to us. Also the charisma he has and the support he gives us."</p>

WHAT ORTEGA SAID

<p>City's issues have also been down to key players like Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne suffering injuries. However, the English champions are focused on finding a solution for their trouble and are hoping to come out a better side.</p><p>Ortega added: "If you get through this as a team and a club and pick yourself up as a team – also for yourself personally – it might even be worth a little more in the end than another title."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guardiola's side have won just once in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and will now be looking to get their first win in three Premier League clashes when they take on Aston Villa on Saturday, December 21.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR MAN CITY?
