I Regret Not Starting Nico O’Reilly Before Now – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to reveal his mistake that led to the club’s horror season. This is coming as they fight for a top-five Premier League finish, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he regrets not playing Nico O’Reilly and McAtee when the club kept struggling from November to February, and he wrongly decided that they were not ready.

Pep added that both youngsters have shown that they are more than ready to play for MCFC, and that is why they are playing at the moment.

His words, “Now I reflect why Nico O’Reilly didn’t play in November, December, January, February… or James McAtee too.

I should have done it! In that moment, I thought maybe they were not ready, and now look what happened. They are ready, that’s why they play…”
