What is the worst that can happen? Lose, lose and lose… What can they do? Send me home? Well, I’m going home. I can accept it as a normal thing or reveal myself and not accept it… But that’s life: it doesn’t go the way you always want,” Pep reflects. Guardiola to whom Luca Toni suggested that there were images in which he himself almost did not recognize him because of how nervous he seemed.
I am a person who sometimes gets nervous, I have bad days, I make mistakes a lot and rudeness makes me nervous. Do I sometimes lose my mind? Yes. I sleep worse and now I don’t digest food well. I always have to eat light. Only soup at night. But I am the same coach as five months ago, the one who won the Premier title,” Guardiola continues.
