Pep Guardiola seems to have his mind elsewhere. Before the semi-final against Newcastle in the League Cup, the Manchester City coach did not hesitate to give a monologue at a press conference yesterday. In front of journalists, the Cityzens coach spoke on many subjects, including the thousands of innocent people who are dying in current conflicts. These victims, more and more numerous in these wars, seem to make Guardiola very affected by the situation. The technician also criticized the government of Donald Trump after the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis, after having mentioned the war in Ukraine, Gaza and even Sudan. “Look what happened in the United States, Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed. Kill thousands of innocent people? It hurts me. I don’t understand how we can remain insensitive, when we see these images every day, these fathers, these mothers, these children, these broken lives, without anyone feeling the slightest compassion. I’m sorry, but I can’t”.
Touched by these dramatic situations, the City coach also added a touching comment on the subject. “I appreciate being asked this question for the first time in ten years. Seems like the media isn’t allowed to do this as part of the job. But is there anyone who sees these images from around the world – the wars – and remains unmoved? It is not a question of whether one is right or wrong. Never in the entire history of humanity have we had information before our eyes as clearly as we do today. These are our problems as human beings”he concluded in front of the press, saddened by these tragedies which are hitting the world.
