Guardiola angry: “Was I not clear with my answer?”
Manchester City boss was faced with the possible arrival of reinforcements in January, including Omar Marmoush
Manchester City host fourth-tier Salford City in the FA Cup third round on Saturday . At his press conference ahead of the match, Pep Guardiola was asked about the possible arrival of new signings in January, including Omar Marmoush , and he was clearly irritated.
“Wasn’t my answer clear? I’m not going to say anything. Omar Marmoush is a player from another club, I’m not going to answer. You can ask me about the market at every conference and I won’t answer. The same thing happened in the past. I was clear. You can try whenever you want, no problem, but you know my answer. It’s easy, no comments,” he said.
The Citizens coach gave an update on Rúben Dias ‘s medical situation : «He feels better but he’s not ready. I don’t know when he will be. Oscar Bobb is already training with the team. That’s good news. Ederson is fine, John Stones is not.»
Salford City are on a six-game winning streak: “I’ve lived in Salford for the last eight years so I’m playing against my locals. I have a lot of respect for the manager [Karl Robinson], we played against Oxford a few years ago and when I was Sam Allardyce’s assistant at Leeds. They’ve won their last six games and kept a clean sheet. Huge respect for them. Hopefully we can put in a good performance and make it three wins in a row. It’s something that hasn’t happened for a long time.”
