Manchester City midfielder Rodri has said Pep Guardiola immediately tried to raise the spirits of his players in the dressing room after the 2-1 Premier League defeat on Saturday against Manchester United.
The champions fell 14 points behind Liverpool in the title race after the shock loss at the Etihad Stadium, but Rodri explained Guardiola remained positive in defeat, according to Metro:
"He tried to lift our heads up. It is a tough moment for the team, but we have to keep fighting.
"We have other cups, other goals which are interesting and very good, so we need to keep fighting and of course recover people because we have lots of problems with injuries – it's been tough at the beginning of the season.
