STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Pep Guardiola must address his side's defensive woes if Manchester City are to have any chance of adding another Premier League title, former assistant manager Hans Backe said. "It's OK if you look at the attacking play, the technical skill and the way Guardiola wants to play, with a goalkeeper playing out from the back," Backe told Reuters. Though he and Eriksson left Manchester City almost 10 years ago, Backe has fond memories of his time there. I was at a horse race in Halmstad when Sven-Goran Eriksson called saying he'd signed as manager for City," Backe said. For Backe, a lifelong fan of English football, being immersed in that culture was a high point.
