“I am not the best man to advice him” — Guardiola

After playing for 11-years in his professional career as a footballer, and netting just 11 goals, Pep Guardiola has washed his hands off being a role model for attacking players.

Following the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Saturday to push Manchester City back in their bid for a fourth consecutive premier league title, the Spaniard sees no reason to blame any player in his team set up.

The Cityzens battled a very rigid Pochettino Chelsea in the Saturday night affair, with the London Blues almost running off with a win thanks to Raheem Sterling’s first half strike beyond Ederson Morales to gift Chelsea the lead.

Manchester City were able to conjure up some efforts and chances to force something out of the game, but the Chelsea backline held the fort with a lot of resilience until Rodri’s heroics in the 80th minute mark salvaged a point for the Premier League bullies.

However, one man who was absent on the day, despite cameras showing him on-field with the rest of City’s eleven, was Erling Haaland who missed vital chances to win Manchester City the tie.

Addressing the missed chances, Pep Guardiola chose to use his career as a reference point when asked on what he felt.

“I was a football player for 11 years and scored 11 goals. I’m not a proper man to give advice to strikers.” Guardiola cleared.

He goes on to defend the Norwegian, saying;

“It’s good to have nine shots, and next time he’s going to score. We create the chances, he had the chances and next time he’s going to score. I don’t blame him. It’s football, it’s human beings,”
