Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola wants to replicate last season’s success and said they will try to do it again. The Cityzens had won the treble as they came up with a brilliant performance in the previous season.

City went on to defend their Premier League title, won the UEFA Champions League for the first time after beating Inter Milan in the final, and defeated derby rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

In fact, Arsenal was leading for the major part of the season but Pep Guardiola’s team was able to bounce back towards the end of the season in the Premier League.

“I don’t know how consistent we will be after what we have done – but I will ask them (team) not to forget what we have done but we will try to do it again step by step. We try and take our composure, our rhythm and remember who we are as a team,” said Guardiola at a press conference.

On the other hand, Manchester City defender Nathan Ake concurred with his manager’s thoughts and said the team needs to keep going as it will be a tough challenge to replicate the same success.

“Last season was a great season for every one of us. But football keeps going forward. We have the mentality to go again. Our first objective is the Community Shield and then the Super Cup and Club World Cup. There’s plenty to go and win. The manager demands of everyone that we go again. This club has been doing that for many years now. Everyone has the mentality to keep pushing each other to reach the next level,” said Ake.

Manchester City will take on Bayern Munich in a club friendly at Japan National Stadium on Wednesday.
