Together: 4-In-A-Row is available now to all CITY+ subscribers and goes behind the scenes of our record-breaking 2023/24 season as we won an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
The feature length film also includes exclusive interviews with Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, captain Kyle Walker, Director of Football Txiki Begiristain and City Football Group Chief Executive Officer Ferran Soriano as well as Guardiola.
After winning the Treble and winning the Premier League for three successive, some pundits claimed that some of the City players were complacent.
But the City boss says every member of the squad knows they have to give everything if they want to be involved.
“I’m there and they will not play,” he says in the documentary. “They know it, it doesn’t matter [how big is] the name.
“If they don’t do what they have to do, they will participate less than normal.”
Guardiola says he was not sure how the players would react after such a momentous 2022/23 campaign when we won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
New signings Jeremy Doku, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes arrived to freshen up the squad.
And the boss installed a motivational message at our CFA base stating: “No team has won four consecutive Premier League titles… yet!”
“After the Treble, even myself, I didn’t know how we would react and how we would be,” Guardiola says.
“I think with the new ones, they settle and they realise how we behave, what are our standards and what we have to do to defend it.
“You cannot imagine how much it helps to have a stable team.
“In the first month we were talking about trying to get points in the beginning. In the first month you cannot win the Premier League but you can lose it.”
The cameras are inside the dressing room and capture the lows as well as the highs of a memorable season.
Among the tough moments at the Etihad Stadium are when Rodri is sent off against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace win a late penalty after a foul from Phil Foden.
Both get a dressing down from the boss but he says that he is too hard on his players sometimes.
“I’m not really proud sometimes, right after the game, when I’m angry for my emotions to pass it on to the players,” Guardiola says.
“I am a human being, I make mistakes but I don’t like that.
“In that moment, 10-men down and then giving away an unnecessary penalty, sometimes I cannot control myself either.”
