Pep got angry and yelled at Grealish right on the field, after the 0-0 draw against Arsenal in round 30 of the Premier League on the night of March 31.
After the match, the camera turned to Pep Guardiola and recorded the moment the Spanish coach ran after Jack Grealish, constantly showing an unpleasant attitude and repeatedly waving his hands in front of the student born in 1995.
Faced with the head coach’s anger, Grealish did not respond. He listened to Pep’s scolding words with a receptive expression.
In the match against Arsenal, Grealish entered the field in the 61st minute to replace Mateo Kovacic. He touched the ball 25 times but did not have a single shot against the opponent’s dense defense. Pep seems to want his student to be more bold in breaking through from the wing to the middle, instead of just bringing the ball down the sideline and then passing it back.
After scolding Grealish, Pep panicked when he saw Erling Haaland and Gabriel Magalhaes arguing. The former Bayern captain tried to reconcile and helped the star make up right on the field. Haaland and Gabriel had a friendly hug and smiled before entering the tunnel.
The 0-0 draw at the Etihad left Man City 3 points behind Liverpool in the rankings. However, Pep and his team are still playing one match less than their Merseyside opponents.
This season’s Premier League championship race is exciting as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal has also proven its strength and great ambition. The gap between the “Gunners” and Liverpool is only 2 points.
