Pep Guardiola has admitted the demands of winning the treble did take a toll on his Manchester City players PBA
City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup and suffered rare back-to-back Premier League defeats prior to the recent international break PBA
They got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday but Guardiola concedes there has been a natural drop in intensity after the remarkable end to last season PBA
The City manager said: “The treble had an influence on all of us, me included PBA
“So now we need to be there, close, month by month, to arrive in the final decision moments at the end of the season close to the opponents to try it again PBA
“I said many times, no-one has won four (Premier Leagues) in a row, never ever PBA
That shows how difficult it is, but now it’s important to be there, especially in the Champions League, qualify for the next round in this period and after we can just focus on the Premier League PBA
That is the target PBA
”City’s success has also brought increased expectations, particularly on Erling Haaland, who scored a remarkable 52 goals in an outstanding first season at the club last term PBA
By his extraordinary standards, the Norwegian’s recent three-game run without a goal constituted a barren spell but he ended that ‘drought’ with a clinical strike against the Seagulls PBA
“Yes the expectations are so high but he’s handled it really well,” said Guardiola PBA
“He knows he could have scored even more goals in the nine Premier League games we have played PBA
”Guardiola rested goalkeeper Ederson at the weekend following the Brazilian’s exertions during the international break PBA
Stefan Ortega took his place PBA
Guardiola said: “It was just for the fact that the travel from Brazil, it’s a long time PBA
Of course it’s happened many times but he played two games there and he was so so tired PBA
“Normally I like to play Ortega in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup but we are out of the Carabao Cup, and sometimes it’s good for Eddy to rest a bit and refresh the mind PBA
”Ortega was pleased to get the opportunity and hopes there will be plenty more PBA
The German said: “I was excited when Pep told me that I was starting PBA
I’m always waiting to get a chance to get a bit more game time PBA
“Eddy is playing really well this season, he started really good, but I try to keep pushing him every day in training sessions PBA
“I think I deserved to start PBA
I’m ambitious so of course I’m not happy to sit on the bench, but we are in a team PBA
“Sometimes it is tough but this is my job – to be there when the team needs me and to keep pushing Eddy every day PBA

Two elderly men were suited PBA
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion PBA
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent PBA
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” PBA
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up PBA
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said PBA
“He’s me brother PBA
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC PBA Sports Personality of the Year award PBA
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died PBA
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air PBA
They were not always close but their achievements will live on PBA
There have been 22 men’s PBA football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 PBA
It remains the most famous year in English PBA football history; perhaps it always will PBA
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA PBA Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France PBA Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup PBA
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player PBA
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both PBA
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt PBA
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English PBA footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps PBA
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed PBA
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory PBA
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about PBA football coming home, Charlton brought it back PBA
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net PBA

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it PBA
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular PBA
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ PBA
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond PBA
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought PBA
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist PBA
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions PBA
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected PBA
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other PBA
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 PBA
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over PBA

But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole PBA
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster PBA
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden PBA
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner PBA
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English PBA football; the face of what is now a bygone age PBA
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades PBA
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game PBA
