Even two days after the disappointment in the English title race, Pep Guardiola is in a bad mood. When asked why he often points out mistakes to his players on the pitch after the final whistle, the star coach reacts angrily. A lesson in sarcasm follows.
With a remarkable performance, Pep Guardiola gained some breathing room after defending champions Manchester City’s setback in the English championship. “I do it for the cameras, for my ego,” the Spanish star coach replied full of sarcasm when asked why he reprimanded his players on the pitch after the game.
“I am the famous person of the team. (…) I need the cameras so that I can go to sleep with incredible satisfaction. That’s why I always criticize the players there and make them feel how bad they are,” the coach continued at a press conference on Tuesday, one day before the league game against Aston Villa. After the top game against Arsenal London, Guardiola gave instructions to his players while gesticulating wildly on the pitch, and the conversation with midfielder Jack Grealish in particular caused a stir.

Star striker Erling Haaland was also mentioned in Guardiola’s remarkable speech. “If Erling scores three goals, I want the compliments and he shouldn’t get them,” Guardiola snapped to the reporters. According to the PA news agency, Man City did not score a goal in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal for the first time in 58 home games across all competitions.
City falls behind Liverpool
After losing a point in the top game, the Champions League winners are now third in the title race, three points behind leaders Liverpool FC and also have the worse goal difference. Guardiola then attributed Liverpool FC and Jürgen Klopp as the clear favorites in the title race.
