How Angry Pep Guardiola is To the Media Regarding the FFP Issue

DBasia.news –  The mood of Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, immediately changed drastically after winning the 2018-19 FA Cup title. The reason is, some journalists mention the issue of FFP.

Manchester City are reportedly threatened with being unable to take part in the 2019-2020 Champions League despite winning the Premier League. That’s because the Citizens violated FFP rules.

According to the report, UEFA investigators asked Manchester City to be banned from appearing in the Champions League. The Citizens violated FFP rules after their sponsors were companies owned by club owners.

Some media in the UK also suspected Pep Guardiola’s involvement in this matter. They also asked the FFP about the Spanish manager after the FA Cup.

Suddenly the question made Pep Guardiola furious. Guardiola felt that the role was inappropriate for him, especially in the new situation to win the trophy.

“Are you aware of the question you are asking? Have I ever received money outside of my salary? You are asking now? Today?” Pep Guardiola said firmly.

“To be honest, do you think I deserve a question like this? On the day when Manchester City won the third title this season?”

“Do I accept money from other situations? Do you accuse me? The truth is. Regarding FFP, I affirm that Manchester City is innocent,” Pep Guardiola replied.

Pep Guardiola’s answer was quite surprising. Not without reason, he was a figure who is famous for his calm attitude on and off the field.
