Pep Guardiola has proven once again that he knows how to keep his cool, even under pressure. This Saturday, during the FA Cup match between Manchester City and Leyton Orient, the opposing supporters did not miss the opportunity to chamber the Spanish coach. While City was led to the score after a goal against his camp by Stefan Ortega in the 16th minute, local fans sang ironic songs: “You're going to be fired tomorrow morning!”
A Guardiola's light reaction
Asked at a press conference after the meeting, Guardiola reacted with humor to these mockery. “Fantastic ! Well, when they say 'you're going to be fired tomorrow morning', not so much! But it has become a routine in all stages now… ”he said with a smile. Before adding: “With this result, I think my president is not going to fire me tomorrow, that's for sure!”
Finally, Manchester City was able to reverse the situation in the second period thanks to goals from the newcomer Abdukodir Khusanov and the veteran Kevin de Bruyne, allowing the Champions of England to qualify for the next round of the FA Cup.
Head on the Champions League
After this spraying in cutting, City now turns to a much more important challenge: a shock in the Champions League against Real Madrid, scheduled for Tuesday evening. A match which will have much more than a few mockery of supporters, but which, according to the relaxed attitude of Guardiola, does not seem to worry him too much.
