Guardiola criticizes Mourinho for Sterling ... and describes him as a "doctor"
Manchester City coach, Spaniard Pep Guardiola, was quick to respond to Tottenham's coach, Jose Mourinho, regarding the issue of City star Raheem Sterling and his absence from participation in the recent England team matches, and said that he is assuming the role of "the doctor".
The British newspaper "The Sun" reported that Guardiola ridiculed Mourinho's veiled criticism of England coach Gareth Sauteghez and Man City, by saying that they had agreed to rest Sterling in the international suspension, and that this was not in the interest of the game, and disturbed the required balance, especially And that the two teams meet today in the summit matches of the ninth round of the English Premier League.
Guardiola said: I do not like responding to Jose’s statements, he accused us of incorrect things, and he must have become a doctor in order to be aware of what is going on.
Sterling had also missed the international suspension in October, and in his first match he scored the winning goal against Arsenal, then missed the November hiatus, and he will play today against Tottenham, which Mourinho considered a manipulation.
Mourinho has previously asked the England coach to name the coaches who refuse to allow their players to join the England team.
Mourinho said: Of course, after he missed the national team, he would be fit to face us.
