Pep And Aguero Told Man City Captain Not To Shoot The Ball by sharaff6(m): 4:42am On May 07, 2019 |
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admitted he was urging Vincent Kompany not to shoot as he lined up his brilliant winner against Leicester. The City captain's long-range strike gave his side a 1-0 win, meaning they will retain their Premier League title if they beat Brighton on Sunday. Belgian defender Kompany's goal was his first from outside the penalty area for City after 11 years with the club. "I said, 'No shoot Vinnie, no shoot!'" said Guardiola. Guardiola added that he plans to speak to Kompany about his future at the end of the season, with 33-year-old's contract set to expire. "We are going to take a beer together and decide what is best, especially for the club," he said. Pep Guardiola admits he was thinking "don't shoot" as the 33-year-old strode forward late in the game with the score goalless and victory imperative. It was a feeling shared by most people inside Etihad Stadium, whose nerves were being stretched to breaking point by City's inability to break down the Foxes, with the Premier League title at stake. They included several fans sitting immediately next to the press box as well as some of Kompany's team-mates, but as he explained afterwards: "I could hear people saying 'don't shoot, don't shoot! But I've not come this far in my career to have young players tell me when to shoot. "For 15 years, I've told people I'll score one like that." Source BBC |
