The coach of Manchester City, Pep Guardiolabelieves that the war in ukraine behind the russian invasion is due to “failure of politicians”, including those of “NATO and European organizations”, and considers that the conflict responds solely to a question of “money”.
“Politicians are there to prevent this kind of thing and when it happens it is because they are a complete failure. NATO, the European organisations… in the end they are a complete failure”, Guardiola pointed out at the press conference prior to the Sunday derby against Manchester United.
In the opinion of the technician, the Ukrainian conflict “is not over a piece of land, nor over a flag, but rather it is only over money”, just as it happened in Syria, Afghanistan or Yugoslavia with the death of innocent people,” he added.
Asked about the plans of the premier league to show solidarity with Ukraine at the start of all matches, the coach considered that “it’s important, but in the end it’s just a gesture”.
The Ukrainian plays for City Oleksandr Zinchenkofor whom Guardiola also had words.
“He knows better than anyone (the situation), he has his family there. He is worried, and as the war progresses, it will get worse, said a Guardiola who was pessimistic about the conflict: “The situation is getting worse and worse and it will last even longer.”
It is unknown if Zinchenko will play against United, but he already did it last Tuesday, with the captain’s armband, against peterborough in the Cup quarterfinals. (D)
