Pep Guardiola Bares His Soul About Losing Temper in Manchester City Dressing Room
In a recent clip from Manchester City’s upcoming documentary, “Together: 4-In-A-Row”, Pep Guardiola, the team’s esteemed manager, revealed his true feelings about his well-known fiery temper.
Guardiola confessed that he often struggles with self-control during intense moments in the dressing room, acknowledging that his outbursts can be a significant issue. This candid insight gives fans a glimpse into the emotional highs and lows that come with being at the helm of a successful football team.
The documentary, a 90-minute deep dive into the team’s emotions, showcases several instances where Guardiola’s frustration reached new heights. Two notable scenes take place during matches against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, where the manager’s ire is palpable.
In the first instance, Rodri is shown receiving a red card, leaving the team facing an uphill battle on the pitch. In the second, Phil Foden’s concession of a penalty triggers a furious outburst from Guardiola in the dressing room.
In reflecting on these incidents, Guardiola expressed remorse over how his emotions can affect his players. “I’m not proud sometimes when I’m angry, right after the game, when I’m passing it on to the players through my emotions,” he admitted.
The manager also acknowledged the immense challenge of managing his feelings during critical moments, especially when the team is faced with adversity on the field. “At that moment, being down to 10 men and then giving away an unnecessary penalty, sometimes I cannot control myself either,” he said.
