PEP: We have to learn to attack better. The big teams have to handle all situations. I am satisfied, especially with the second half.

‘We saw all the games in the Premier League today and yesterday, how complicated it was for everybody. We knew that Brighton are a newly-promoted side, with enthusiasm, also with their crowd.
‘But we had chances in the first minutes and after the game was quieter, it’s not easy to attack 10 guys in the box.
‘What’s important in the first game is to win…’

‘We controlled the counter-attacks, we conceded just one chance in 90 minutes away from home and that’s not easy in the Premier League.
‘We are so satisfied for the first game, the way we played. It was quite similar level to pre-season in terms of working without the ball, and we are going to improve.’
We had to be patient today. In the end a comfortable victory for us. 🔥⚽🔥 #CmonCity #inSané #LS19 @ManCity pic.twitter.com/Za4Ed7vbFZ
