Considered an ultimate reference in the panorama of coaches, Pep Guardiola is not only a revolutionary tactician with an XXL track record. He is also a skilled communicator, whose calm and polite language have become a trademark over the years, during his public speaking engagements.
But the Catalan coach, who is used to controlling his nerves, behaved rather unusually during the clash between his Manchester City team and Arsenal on Sunday in the Premier League. A match that ended in a draw (2-2).
Guardiola amazes fans
If City were able to snatch a valuable point to keep their place at the top, the scenario of the match visibly irritated Pep Guardiola. To the point of seeing the Spanish coach descend into a violent anger, and very surprising for English football fans.
While Manchester City were trailing, another incident of play weighed down the course of the match for the Sky Blues, with the exit of midfielder Rodri, seriously injured. So many headwinds that prompted Guardiola to enter a black rage. On a video relayed by Sky Sports, we can see Spain heading towards his bench before hitting a seat with a violent kick, then screaming his frustration after turning towards the field.
