Grealish Jack and Foden Philip, Manchester City players, found themselves outside the team in a match played by coach Guardiola.
Many assumed that the Spaniard rotated the team to keep the players fresh, but he denied it.
“No, I did not lead this team because of the rotation”, was the answer of Pep Guardiola after the game with Newcastle in which there were no mentioned players in the team and in which the Citizens certainly celebrated with the result 4:0.
Two Manchester City players were filmed in a night out after a 7-0 victory over Leeds.
That happened before the match with Newcastle, which is why the manager of Guardiola, furious, decided to expel them from the team.
“Why did this team play?” Because these are players who deserved to play, while others did not. In this period around Christmas, we have to pay a lot of attention to the behavior of the players on the field, but also off it. When they don’t behave appropriately, they won’t play. We need to stay focused. “I know it’s hard before the end of the year, but we have to, that’s the job,” Guardiola said.
The British newspaper states that the Catalan expert went crazy when he saw photos from the night out of Grealish and Foden.
And especially when he saw in what condition they came to training in the morning, which is why he decided to punish them and remove them from the team until further notice.
By being expelled from the team, he wanted to tell them that such things will not be tolerated at the club.
