Pep Guardiola, one of the most renowned managers of his time, is known for his tactical mastery of soccer. The Spanish coach is famous for the tiki-taka style he employs in his team but he seems to have been caught up in controversy recently.
The Manchester City boss has recently been in the news because a video of him that dates back three decades went viral. Pep can be seen walking on the ramp for Antonio Miro during his young days when he played for FC Barcelona.
The fans couldn’t control their emotions after watching a handsome young Pep. Some of the fans couldn’t even recognize him as he has been sporting a bald head for quite a long time now.
One such fan reacted to the video stating that Pep was being punished for being too hot. It has been reported that Johan Cruyff had punished Pep for modeling and walking for the fashion designer.
The fan wrote: “punished for being too hot😔”
Another fan seemed to be puzzled due to Pep Guardiola’s expressions in the video. Guardiola looks a bit lost and disconnected with everything going on around him and the fan pointed out the same.
They wrote: “…and why does he look so lost and disconnected?“
Another fan took a jibe at Manchester City’s fan base. The fan indicated that if Pep could grow back his hair like the old days, it might encourage fans to visit the Etihad which has many empty seats during City’s matches.
They wrote: “Wish he had those hair now , at least Eithad would’ve not lacked 20,000 empty seats !!”
This viral video comes at a time when Guardiola is already in the midst of a huge controversy. It has recently been reported that Pep has a close relationship with Gerard Pique’s girlfriend Clara Chia Marti.
How did Pep Guardiola meet Gerard Pique’s girlfriend?
It is quite interesting to know how Pep met a young Clara Chia and how their alleged relationship started. Rumor has it that Pep met Clara at his children’s school. This could be true as it is the only explanation for Pep to meet such a young person.
This would come as a shock for former FC Barcelona defender Pique who has recently gotten out of one controversy with his ex-partner, Shakira. The Colombian singer, on the other hand, would have relished the news as karma for Pique who cheated on her.
This would also mean some tension in the relationship between Pique and Pep. The former FC Barcelona players are close friends as Pep managed Pique during his young days at Camp Nou.
It will also be interesting to see how Pep’s wife, Cristina Serra, responds to the news of his infidelity. The duo have been together for over two decades and are parents to three children. It remains to be seen how the people involved in the drama respond to the controversy.
