Pep Guardiola walks out on Sky interview after scathing attack on Man City players | Football | Sport
Guardiola told journalists: “We lacked guts, passion, fire, desire to win from minute one. The same with the fans, they are silent for 45 minutes. I want my fans back!”
The former midfielder accepted that his side were lucky to come from behind in the second half. He added: “We cannot deny how happy we are but we are far away from the team that we were, not in terms of play, we played good in the second half, but there were many things, the competitiveness in terms of what we do have to do that we are far away, far away.
“Rico Lewis concedes four fouls and of course it’s not a yellow card [for Rodrigo Bentancur] because it’s Rico Lewis, and we don’t react. We concede the first goal and after the second goal it’s ridiculous. We play short and we play because our manager told us how to play like this and have to do this, but there is nothing from the stomach and the guts. We were lucky but without change sooner or later again we are going to drop points.”
