- ‘If Zach doesn’t play I’m going to lose the team’
- Guardiola tells Phil Foden to stay grounded
Pep Guardiola will choose Zack Steffen for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea because the manager would rather lose the tie than “lose the team” by not keeping faith with his regular goalkeeper for domestic cups.
City remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple after Wednesday’s 2-1 win at Borussia Dortmund sealed passage to the Champions League semi-finals. Ederson is Guardiola’s No 1 but the manager is adamant Steffen will play at Wembley, indicating that his players might otherwise lose trust in him.
