At press conferences, coaches are told to speak positively about their colleagues, and some do it deliberately and some quite sincerely. The sincerity of Slovan head coach Vladimir Weiss‘ recent remarks towards his closest opponent Pep Guardiola remains questionable, but the Man City boss’ colleague's words impressed.
Weiss compared Guardiola to his notable countryman, architect Antoni Gaudí, and when journalists asked Pep himself in a press conference about it, as we can tell from his face, was pleasantly surprised by the comparison.
‘No glass of wine for my colleague before that statement, right? I've been at a fantastic club with top players. Being from Catalunya, Gaudi was, my God... The greatest, one of the greatest. What can I say? Thank you so much.’
Earlier, Guardiola reacted nervously to Rodri's prolonged absence due to his injury.
