Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that being a handsome man helps him to get his message across to his players. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he tries to seduce his players at times during training sessions, and that helps them learn from their mistakes in past matches.
Pep added that he uses the TV or images method from time to time, and he talks with his mouth when there is a need for it.
His words, “Because I’m really good. I’m a handsome man and I seduce them and we did it. So, I’m really good. Today we have the TV, the images, and we talk individually, and moving that way. I spoke with Ruben (Dias) with what happened at Chelsea, I spoke with Kyle (Walker) with what happened at Chelsea. I talked about it in this specific was after they made mistakes, they just understand.”
On his love for brief sessions, “In seven years, I don’t train. Maximum 35 minutes. We don’t train. They started pre-season 15 days before. Do you know what 15 days is? We played the FA Cup final and then the Champions League final. They had 15 days more with the new players. We didn’t do one day of tactical. It’s the same for Jurgen [Klopp], I’m pretty sure. The day before this game, we did 10-15 minutes with the ball and 10 minutes defensively. Before Tuesday it will be 10 minutes on the pitch, moving in that way. We cannot train. If we train, we don’t have players for the next game. We don’t have them. That’s why we have to learn from the past: just understand what you have to do. The press, who jumps. This is what we absolutely rely on.”
WOW.
