Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola reveals what he secretly texted Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after Manchester City’s 2-2 draw match against Arsenal

Arsenal and Manchester City played to a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. After the game, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta shook hands.

Guardiola and Arteta worked together at City, so their friendship isn’t likely to end any time soon, even though both clubs are becoming more competitive.

It would be important for both coaches to beat the other in each game and at the end of the season.

That is, however, just how the job is.

Manchester City would want to show the Arsenal that they are still the best team in the Premier League.

If Arsenal wins the title next year, they will be able to show themselves that they are better than Chelsea.

Guardiola shows texts he sent to Arteta after the game

Both sets of coaches would have been very angry about what their teams did wrong in Sunday’s match because they were fierce rivals.

It would have made Pep Guardiola think about how he can help his Manchester City team break down low blocks better.

Mikel Arteta may have thought about whether or not his Arsenal team could have been more daring in the second half and why they let in a late goal.

But it’s possible that both coaches would have continued to respect how their teams played after the game.

There was a lot of pressure on both teams at the Etihad Stadium.

Coach Pep Guardiola said that he texted Mikel Arteta after the game and that their friendship is still strong.

The Catalan manager told HaytersTV, “We text each other after games with Mikel Arteta, and our relationship hasn’t changed at all.” It’s perfect that they chose to play that way. It’s okay, I never explain it.

Following this, Guardiola also said, “What I said, I told Mikel; you did a great job.” “Okay, that’s fine.”

The manager also said that Arsenal could play defensively against Manchester City if they wanted to.

“I’m not sure I could do it.” They were very smart. We are here to see how we can beat them, and they did a great job of many things. This happens all the time, and we are not here to tell any team they have to play a certain way.

“Yesterday, we played that way because we played a lot of defensive teams. Inter and Arsenal were so deep, which is why we played 10 against 11 today against Watford.”

“It’s about us because it’s the second time in eight years,” Guardiola said. How many times have we played teams like that today or in the last game? How many do you know? “Millions and millions.”

“And there are other teams that are braver and more aggressive.”

The Spanish player fixed his mistake and said, “Brave, they’re more attacking, whatever.” It’s about us. What can we expect? “Hey guys, do whatever you want to win the game,” you know that’s not going to happen.

A very classy answer from Pep Guardiola about Man City vs. Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola did the right thing by thanking Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team after a fight that must have been very hard on his mind and emotions.

Also, Guardiola’s humility comes through when he says that he can’t teach his teams to play like the North London team did.

The legendary player for Manchester City also said that his only concern is how his team beats other teams, not how they play.

In the end, each football team can play the game however they want.

Guardiola said that City can’t wish for other teams to set up in a way that works for them.

The team led by Pep Guardiola just needs to roll up their sleeves and play the way the game calls for them.

On Saturday, they will play Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United team and hope to do that.
