Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has insisted it is difficult to win four consecutive Premier League titles.
Guardiola listed Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United), Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) and Jose Mourinho (Chelsea) as some of the coaches who couldn’t achieve the feat.
City on the verge of breaking the jinx with two league fixtures left to play.
If the champions beat Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday and West Ham on Saturday, they will retain the trophy.
It will be the first time a team will achieve it in English football history.
“In the beginning of the season, we didn’t think about the four Premier Leagues.
“If we are in February, March, April and we are still there, we can still do it, after that ignites something In all our heads that says guys no team has done it. That shows you how hard it is.
“Liverpool in the 1980s, Sir Alex Ferguson’s United in the 1990s, Chelsea with [Roman] Abramovich and Jose [Mourinho] and Arsenal with [Arsene] Wenger didn’t do it, so if it’s not been done it’s difficult. It’s as simple as that,” Guardiola told a news conference on Monday.
