It may have been a week since the episodic derby between Manchester City and her Arsenal at “Etihad” for the 5th matchday of the Premier League, however, the atmosphere remains tense between the two teams!
We remind you that after the end of the match and with the “citizens” taking the point (2-2) with a goal by Stones in the 8th minute of stoppage time, there was great tension, both on the playing field – with starring Haaland – as well as after the statements of the players.
Many City players accused Arsenal of playing…dirty and of making a lot of delays to win the match. On the other hand, Mr Gabrieltalked about war and how it is normal for things to happen on the pitch. On Tuesday, before the Cup match with Bolton, the coach of the “gunners”, Mikel Artetaasked if the team is using it…dark techniques, as City accuse it, he said: “I was there for four years. I have all the information, so I know, trust me…”
Guardiola was not late to… pick up the gauntlet from the sarcastic remark of his former assistant at City, responding to the press conference ahead of tomorrow’s (28/09) clash with Newcastle. The Catalan coach emphasized that Arteta must become more clear in what he says he knows, leaving spikes how can he know things even about the accusations of of 115 violations of financial Fair Play!
“Next time, Mikel should be more clear. He needs to be clear next time about exactly what he means he’s been here for four years and knows exactly what happened here. Because he may be related to the 115 charges process, he may know information about it, perhaps. I don’t know…
Gabriel said it perfectly to the press after the match, so it’s a war. We have to challenge the opponent, push him and in the end what can you do? Are you challenging me? Ok, I’m here. Do you want war? Okay, now we’re at war.”
???? “You provoke me? Ok, here I am. You want a war? Ok, now we war”.
