For Pep Guardiola, the match against Liverpool marked not only his sixth defeat in seven games, but also mockery directed at him by the home crowd. Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega admitted he didn’t anticipate such trolling aimed at his coach.
Details: The German goalkeeper revealed he had been warned about the reputation of Merseyside, calling it “not the best part of England.” Nonetheless, he praised Guardiola for handling the situation well.
Quote: "Someone told me before that this area might not be the best part of England. Yes, I think the coach reacted very well," Ortega told 90min.
Reminder: During the match, Liverpool fans chanted that "Guardiola will be sacked by morning," to which the Spanish manager responded by gesturing the number of Premier League titles he has won with Manchester City. At the post-match press conference, Guardiola described the fans’ behavior as unexpected.
