He said he had received the relevant information and promised to try to shorten the speaking time during the halftime break to avoid similar situations from happening again. This statement not only reflects Guardiola's strict requirements for the team's discipline, but also shows his attention to the details of the game and the ability to adjust.
Pep Guardiola has addressed the rumors that he will be the England manager. He made it clear that he is the manager of Manchester City and feels very comfortable and happy here. In response to these unfounded rumors, Guardiola said that he doesn't know where they are coming from and emphasized that he is only focusing on Manchester City's games and training at the moment. He also humorously stated that we will see what happens in the future, but he has no intention of leaving City at the moment.
