In a snap shared on social media, during the Manchester City-Real Madrid match, Guardiola “screamed” at De Bruyne, asking him to pass the ball.
After the Belgium star lost the ball to Real Madrid, he angrily waved his hand at his manager and told him: “Shut up…shut up.”
The shot caused great controversy and De Bruyne’s behavior was seen as “strange” towards his coach, who was known for his strong personality and control over players.
Interpretation of the shot
During a press conference on Friday, Guardiola was asked about the shooting.
Guardiola’s response: “I love that kind of reaction from Kevin. We’re yelling at each other and I love that.”
He added, justifying the Belgian player’s nervousness: “You have to see the number of times he yelled at me in training, and that’s what is expected of him.”
He continued, “It’s not personal, you need those things to be able to compete.”
Note that Manchester City achieved a big result by beating Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday night, and will win the English Premier League title on Sunday if they win over Chelsea.
