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

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best PBA
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport PBA
But there are no Blacks in your sport PBA
“They’re going to want to kill you PBA
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on PBA
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car PBA
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events PBA
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all PBA
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself PBA
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed PBA
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride PBA
“But I enjoyed it PBA
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun PBA
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me PBA
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating PBA
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs PBA
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality PBA
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 PBA
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” PBA
But to this interview, he’s late PBA
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems PBA
It was the racing way or the highway PBA
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas PBA
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill PBA
That’s all that was discussed in the family PBA
We didn’t discuss any other sport PBA
“I was lucky, I think PBA
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be PBA
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did PBA
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One PBA
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s PBA
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too PBA
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril PBA
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer PBA
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time PBA
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says PBA
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team PBA
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders PBA
“Sure PBA
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done PBA
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it PBA
But for me? It was about going fast PBA
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali PBA
“What I admired about him the most was not his PBA boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali PBA
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled PBA
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while PBA
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about PBA
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs PBA
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience PBA
The attention went off the chart PBA
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods PBA
“He’s a very kind man PBA
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way PBA
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair PBA
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with PBA
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently PBA
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world PBA
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made PBA
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says PBA
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One PBA
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ PBA
