Pep Guardiola insisted winning the Champions League is not an obse sion for Manchester City, as he refuted suggestions European succe s could determine whether he stays at the Etihad Stadium.Meanwhile, Guardiola has backed Jack Grealish for a succe sful second campaign with the club, praising his contribution to last seasons Premier League title win.Guardiolas team have won four of the last five Premier League titles and are heavily fancied ahead of the 2022-23 campaign after recruiting Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips during a busy transfer window.However, City are yet to experience European succe s under Guardiola, with last terms humiliating Champions League semi-final collapse against Real Madrid Domingo Santana Jersey representing the latest of several near mi ses on the continental stage.But the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach, whohas just one year remaining on his City contract,insists the absence of a Champions League title will not impact any decision Yovani Gallardo Jersey on his future.Its not about that. I would like to win it, its not an obse sion, its a dream, a target we can do, Guardiola said ahead of Sundays trip to West Ham. Im completely aware how good the opponents are and how difficult this competition is. I said many times, maybe people dont believe me or think Im making an excuse, I didnt come here to win the Champions League.Im the first to want it, but it was the same inMunich. In Barcelona we won it twice, I wanted to win four! The 30 or 40 seasons whereIm a manager, I want to win every single Champions League, but I dont feel a failure when we dont win it.We want it, but if we win itIm not the master of the universe. We tried, we were closer last season, we will try this season.Improving the team, playing better, this is main reason Im here. Im sad because we lost the Community Shield, but especially because we didnt play as we can do.The only thing Im here for is to make the team play better, to see the team, watch Paul Molitor Jersey on the touchline and say, I like it.The consequence is to win or lose, we are going to lose sooner or later the Premier League. Nothing is eternal, not even this team that has done many good things in the last years. To win four Premier Leagues in five years is something extraordinary.We can improve. We can do better, this is the only reason Im here . Im not leaving here saying I have to win the Premier League, what happens if I lose the Premier League?'As City succe sfully defended the Premier League title last season, only Kevin De Bruyne (87) and Bernardo Silva (59) created more chances than Grealish (53) for Guardiolas men in all competitions.However, the England international has faced criticism from some quarters after registering just eight goals and four a sists in all competitionsfollowing a club-record move from Aston Villa.But Guardiola insists Grealishs contribution was vital to Citys triumph last termandwants to see more from all of his attacking stars, not only the 26-year-old. The most important thing you have to know is Jack Grealish won the Premier League. Thats why we bought him, to help us to win the Premier League, and we did it, Guardiola said.Jack is incredibly loved in the locker room, hes incredibly humble. Of course, I want more, but not just forJack, for Alex Claudio Jersey everyone.Of course, I definitely want more, he has to fight because the competition up front is so big, we have really good players.Were optimistic because he arrived very well, we know they have the World Cuparound the corner, Gareth Southgate has to make big selections because there are many good players in the England team, and everybody knows what they have to do.Grealish will likely a sume a more important role after the departures of fellow attackers Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, and Guardiola believes a refresh of his title-winning squad was nece sary.Always I thought that after five or six years together, we need to change. Jhoulys Chacin Jersey Changing the manager is an option, or to change a few players, always, he added.To the old players, its normal, new players bring new energies, new desire. You have to take decision always before its going to happen. Always the intention is to get better.
