After a superb comeback, Manchester City overthrew Tottenham (4-2) Thursday in the Premier League. And yet, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola uttered an XXL rant against his players and the fans of his team.
Pep Guardiola uttered a real rant.
Led by two goals at the break, Manchester City managed to dominate Tottenham (4-2) on Thursday in the Premier League after a superb second period. But even in the euphoria of a magnificent comeback, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola was unable to hide his annoyance.
The reason for his anger? The first 45 minutes of this encounter…
Guardiola shakes up his players…
Because despite the victory, the Skyblues coach castigated the face displayed by his players during the first act. Rather satisfied with the level of play of his people, the Spanish technician cannot accept the mentality of his troops, who do not want his taste enough. I can’t deny that we’re happy, but we’re far from the team we used to be. Not in terms of the game, we played quite well, but in terms of our competitiveness, what we have to doblew Guardiola for Sky Sports.
There is nothing that comes from the belly, we play like that because ‘the manager said so’. We were lucky, but sooner or later we will lose points again. We don’t have the passion, the fire and the desire to win from the first minutelamented the former FC Barcelona coach, in particular with reference to his team’s two recent defeats against Southampton (0-2) in the League Cup and Manchester United (1-2) in the league.
… and turn on the fans!
Decidedly annoyed, Guardiola did not just target his group. Remonted, the 52-year-old also pinned the attitude of the fans at the Etihad Stadium. It’s the same with our fans, they were silent for 45 minutes. They even booed because we were losing, not because of our game. We played well, we had our chances, Tottenham’s expected goals were 0.89 so we were betterhe pointed out.
They booed because we were losing, but maybe it’s like our team. Maybe we’re too comfortable after 4 crowns in 5 years in the Premier League, that’s why… you know. After the goal, they reacted, but that’s not the point, finished the Iberian. A real rant to wake up Manchester City, 2nd in the 5-point ranking of leader Arsenal (which has a game late), for the second half of the season.
