Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to blast Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool boss claimed that Manchester City had two weeks off when they were hit by a Covid-19 outbreak. He recently revealed that Jurgen Klopp should check the calendar again because he is clearly misinformed.
According to him, he is very shocked that such comment could come from a manager like Klopp, and he has never expected that from him.
Pep added that he won’t be drawn into any war of words with anyone, as he is currently focused on preparing his team to go to Anfield to win the game.
His words, “He made a mistake, it was two months, three months, four months – that’s why we’re in the top-four now,”
“Jurgen has to see the calendar again. We had Covid, we had one week, we played with 14 players in Stamford Bridge. Maybe I’m wrong and it was two or three weeks.”
“When I see Jurgen I will ask him how long we had off. I’m surprised, I thought Jurgen was not that kind of manager, I didn’t expect that comment. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. If he sees the calendar he will see it was not two weeks, it was two months.”
“Of course it will be important, I cannot deny it,”
“When you beat Liverpool, United, Tottenham, Leicester, Chelsea, Arsenal, Burnley, it’s so important to beat them.”
“What I want to see is my team to go to Anfield to win the game like we have done since we were together.”
“We have not had exceptional results there but we made good performances. We go to try to win the game, not to draw, knowing their quality and the team they have. No more than that.”
