“He annoys me so much, he shouldn’t be allowed into the dressing room, let him pack his bags and leave” – Pep Guardiola was seen cursing and shouting at City’s player following his disastrous performance against Wolves yesterday
Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, said that Ruben Dias and Mateo Kovacic did not play as well as they could have against Wolves.
After his team lost 2-1 to Gary O’Neil’s team, he talked to Manchester Evening News about how the two teams played.
Pep Guardiola thinks that both Ruben Dias and Mateo Kovacic showed the same weakness for Manchester City on Saturday against Wolves.
Pep Guardiola says that Ruben Dias and Mateo Kovacic hurt Manchester City against Wolves. Eamon Dunphy called the Portuguese back “magnificent,” and he has picked up where he left off last season.
In a similar way, Kovacic has been great for City and has looked like the perfect centre midfielder for Guardiola.
But Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, thinks that both Ruben Dias and Mateo Kovacic were careless with the ball against Wolves, which hurt his team’s ability to attack.
He said, “It was harder when they defended so well and Kovacic and Ruben had to attack the central defenders of their opponents, but they didn’t.”
The worst player on the pitch was Mateo Kovacic, who was joined by Nathan Ake.
Even though Ruben Dias probably didn’t have his best day with the ball, even Pep Guardiola would probably say that Mateo Kovacic was much worse with the ball at the Molineux Stadium.
As Rodri’s replacement in defensive middle, the Croatian international did not look like he belonged there.
Kovacic’s passes were too high because he kept trying to find Haaland behind Wolves’ defence. This caused City to lose control over and over again.
On defence, he had a nightmare of a time, just like Nathan Ake, trying to stop the hosts from being a pain in transition.
Dias may not have had his best afternoon, but Kovacic showed that he is not at all suited to be the No. 6 player.
