Manchester Derby;Why I want Pogba to play – Guardiola


Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola said he would like Paul Pogba to play in next week’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Guardiola also said he does not believe the France midfielder wants Manchester City players to be struck down by injury.

Pogba got a three-match ban for treading on Hector Bellerin during Saturday’s pulsating 3-1 win at Arsenal.

He becomes a significant blow for Jose Mourinho with City next on the agenda in the Premier League.

City restored their eight-point lead over Mourinho’s men at the summit on Sunday when David Silva’s 83rd-minute volley sealed a 2-1 win over West Ham.

Pogba had earlier told the BBC’s Football Focus he hoped Manchester City would “get some very important players injured.”

Speaking after the West Ham win, Guardiola said, “Did he say that? Hopefully we don’t have injuries.

“I would like it if Paul could play against us because I like to face the teams with the best players possible to see if we are able to beat them.

“In the end, I think it was an expression. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want other players to get injured.”

Guardiola vows to ”kill” Man City team if they fail to win EPL

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has vowed to kill his players if they fail to finish the English Premier League (EPL) season without the title. Guardiola said there was no chance of his team becoming complacent despite their superb form to the start of the season. Manchester City continued their EPL dominance with a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday. City have made a flying start to the season, dropping just two points from the first 12 games and are 8-point lead at the top of the table, scoring 40 goals and conceding just seven. “That is not going to happen because I am their manager,” Guardiola said. “The team, that is not going to happen. I’ll kill them. Complacency doesn’t happen in my teams. “They can play bad, teams are going to beat us, that happens. “But if you see the team, they have the desire to have the ball and play. We are not a team that speculates about absolutely anything. That’s not going to happen.”

Whether you’re the best or the worst, not everyone will agree. Don’t start hatred neither should you fan the fire of hate. Someday, our bodies will end up six feet below. Just above it, our memories will live fading with time. Sheathe your swords and embrace PEACE. Build legacies and write your names as legends. Don’t die prematurely for people’s obsessions.
