Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has responded to Patrice’s Evra’s comments that his management style makes players feel like they are stripped of autonomy and commanded as if in a Playstation game.
Guardiola suggested the jibe is an attempt to get a job at rivals, Manchester United.
“I don’t want personality? Well. I don’t agree, Patrice! I don’t play. I need personalities and good players to play on the pitch.
“I didn’t read it or know [what he’s said]. I have had nice, incredible players in my past as a manager at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and here. Most of them have won World Cups, European [Championships], Champions Leagues and leagues.
“Patrice — if we were together, I would show you the personality and character of my players right now that we have, absolutely. Maybe Evra is right or maybe he’s doing a good quote to come back to Manchester United to work there. Maybe there’s a good chance now,” Guardiola said.
