Moment from the Slovan – Manchester City match.
The journalists there noticed several details that the fans may have missed. We select some of them.
According to the Daily Mail portal, Vladimír Weiss sr. to prepare for his opponent on the City coaching bench the so-called trojan horse.
“He bowed before Pep Guardiola in amazement before the duel, comparing him to the legendary architect Gaudí. As if distracting. However, this move did not work for him,” write British journalists.
According to them, the English champion found himself on the Tehelno polí in the most comfortable possible environment for a peaceful achievement of a good result.
“The players were so relaxed, sure of themselves and the result, that Guardiola didn’t even get angry when they tried to score miracle goals. Instead of just dissecting the opponent and shooting from every position,” the British source continues.
The latter revealed what gift Weiss had given Guradiol.
“He gave him a bottle of vodka on Monday night. However, it is hard to imagine that the City coach would take a shot instead of the glass of red wine he likes so much.”
The British also point out that the arrival of City in Slovakia was like a huge holiday. They are writing about some kind of national celebration, not – for them – a regular Champions League match.
“Some moments on the pitch looked like quite a solid training session for the City players. This is evidenced by 38 attacks by the guests and only one by the home team. That’s also why he came to checkmate after a quarter of an hour of the game,” adds the website.
Just to remind you, Guardiola’s men were leading 2-0 after only fourteen minutes and comfortably doubled their lead by the end of the match.
