Pep Guardiola satirizes Liverpool legend

DBasia.news – Manchester City are still in the spotlight following their lawsuit from the Premier League regarding violations of club finances. The Citizens are said to have violated more than 100 rules and can obtain many sanctions.

Some of the sanctions aimed at Man City range from fines, deducting points, dropping to a lower football division, to news of the revocation of the Premier League title from 2009 to 2018.

Reportedly Man City used third parties to pay the salaries of players and coaches, apart from that there is also news that the club has other sponsors which in fact are still one company with the club owner.

Pep Guardiola, coach of Man City, who is in the midst of the club’s vortex, spoke about this news. Guardiola explained the clubs that continued to submit complaint letters to bring down Man City, he also said other interesting things.

Responding to Man City haters, Guardiola emphasized that the Premier League titles that have been won so far have happened because of the club’s struggle to win them. As was the case in 2014 when Man City overtook Liverpool in winning it.

Guardiola had not coached a club at the time, but he knew full well that in 2014 Liverpool made big blunders in the Premier League title race by dropping points. One of them against Chelsea.

At that time the Liverpool legend who is now a coach, Steven Gerrard, slipped and the ball was snatched by the opponent and resulted in a goal, that moment continues to be the subject of discussion today. Guardiola also satirized the matter.

“I don’t know if we are responsible for Steven Gerrard slipping up at Anfield,” Guardiola told reporters as quoted by Goal.

“Was it our fault? I respect Steven Gerrard, but the moment was ours. The moments we’ve had together over the years, the Premier League will decide, but I know what we won and how we won it.”

“I know the effort we put in. If something happened in 2009 or 2010, it would not change for a second,” explained the Spaniard.
