However, Guardiola has left the headline of the day in England. When speaking of what was his second, the Catalan coach left a sentence that is going to cause people to talk: “If I am trained here, wherever and the Barcelona call me, I’ll go to Barcelona, it’s my club”. It should be remembered that Pep has a contract in Manchester until 2025.
Arteta was his ‘second’ at City
In the same appearance, the man from Sampedor spoke of the moment in which Arteta, previously his second at City, broke up with him to take charge of the ‘Gunners’: “We scored a lot of goals and he always jumped and celebrated, except against a team. I was jumping, celebrating, turning around and he was sitting. It was Arsenal. Then I realized: ‘This boy likes Arsenal’. Everyone has dreams and I know he went to his club, to the club I dreamed of. I was a fan of Arsenal because I played there, I was captain and I loved that club. I didn’t want to oppose it. Life is too short. You have to fly.”
