After the conveniently the worst relay of his leadership career, Pep Guardiola brutally admitted that neither he nor his players “earn” financial bonuses of the Lucrative Club World Championship of this summer.
Together with Chelsea, City is one of two Premier League team who are involved in the first edition of FIFA’s latest tournament. The winner of the Global Footballing Jamboree earns up to 97 million pounds, although Guardiola does not expect to be rewarded with money or “even a clock”.
Guardiola sat in front of the media, while his defending champion has dropped in fifth place in fifth place. “We didn’t deserve a bonus this season,” he sniffed on Friday afternoon.
“The bonus, when you win, I don’t know how much is for the club.
City’s defeat against Nottingham Forest at the beginning of March was the ninth of the club’s Premier League campaign. This corresponded to the record number of losses Guardiola ever suffered during a glittering career as a TOP -Light management that began in 2008.
The Sky Blues were unloaded from the Champions League before the last 16 had got out in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The only remaining Avenue from City for silver this season is the FA Cup in which you compete against Bournemouth in the quarter -finals.
Andoni Iraola’s Riotic South Coast has endured a deceptively terrible form rank in the past six weeks and did not win any of their previous five games in the normal period (two draws, three defeats). However, Bournemouth was a deserved 2-1 victory over Manchester City when the two sides faced each other in the Vitality Stadium in November.
Guardiola warned that compared to this previous trip to the south coast, he would have a “deeper squad” for the Sunday cup and insisted that “every team can beat every team” in English football.
