Premier League: Guardiola apologizes for celebrating goal with rival: ‘I’m sorry, I’m so sorry’
orToday’s Premier League photos were of Guardiola celebrating in the technical area with the Liverpool substitutes who were getting ready.
The picture attracted so much attention that the Manchester City coach was asked about this moment both in the mixed zone and in the subsequent press conference, and the Spanish coach was clear and emphatic in his explanations.
“I’m so sorry. Talk to (Kostas) Tsimikas. Talk with disrespect. Ask him if I’m disrespectful. Celebrate the goal. Celebrate with my son on the floor. I come here and say, ‘Oh, the goal was. It was nice, wasn’t it?'” That’s it. I’m so sorry if the TV… do you think it’s disrespectful? Guardiola replied to the journalist, who insisted he thought so, and then apologized to Pep, “Well, I’m sorry. I’m very sorry.”
