Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has stated that the supporters of Manchester United who attacked Phil Foden with a horrible song need to be “very ashamed.”
The match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford ended in a dull and goalless draw on Sunday.
Following a dull Manchester derby, Gary Neville went on an incredible rage after the final whistle blew, which resulted in the points being split between the two teams.
The fact that the Premier League match took place away from the pitch was one of the most talked-about aspects of the match.
Foden, who started the game but was substituted in the second half because it looked that he had sustained an injury, was the target of anvilous chants from the fans of Manchester United.
The fans that were inside the stadium could be heard singing, “Phil Foden, your mother is a sl*g.”
Guardiola responded candidly to a question regarding the shouts directed at Foden that was posed to him at the press conference that took place after the match.
He stated that the supporters who yelled at the mother of the Manchester City player need to be “ashamed” of themselves.
Exclaiming, “Lack of class,” he was certain. To put it another way, it’s not United; it’s the people, you know? For those of us who are involved in international football, particularly managers, owners, and football players, we are always exposed to the screen.
“Honestly, I don’t understand the mind of the people involving the mum of Phil, it’s a lack of integrity, class, and they should be ashamed…”
The chant was repeated both inside the game itself and after Foden had left the field of play.
In addition, Guardiola stated the following on Foden: “When the team is not playing at the level and standards we had, everyone looks not what we were.”
“Phil, there is no question; I see the enthusiasm and the joy on his face throughout each and every training session. I want this to be the case… Obviously, the influence has not been. However, Phil is not the only one affected. If you look at the stats from the previous four, five, or six years, you will see that a lot of players are here in terms of goals and assists. However, this season, we dropped a lot of goals and assists, and not just one, but all of them (not just one). It is because of this that we are having difficulty creating or winning, yet the quality is there.
“Sometimes in a long career you have seasons you are not – maybe last season he arrived at the peak in terms of the best player in the Premier League, he won the Premier League in the last games and his impact was incredible – and he will be back.”
