Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said he was not impressed with his team’s second-half display, despite a 4-0 victory over Wolves in their opening Premier League fixture.
Erling Haaland netted in either half, while new boys Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki also got on the score sheet.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Guardiola also admitted that their drop off could be due to lack of fitness, as they have not played too many pre-season matches.
He said: “First half good, second no. The attitude and many things were good, but in the second half, they were better in certain moments but it’s good to improve winning 4-0.
“All the new ones [were impressive]. Tijjani was one of the best players in Serie A, he has an unbelievable rhythm.
“In the first game, you never know. We didn’t play many friendlies in pre-season, but many things were good, especially in the first half.
“In the second half, we dropped too much but maybe that is normal in the beginning of the season.”
