Pep Guardiola has revealed that the only English football team he watches for fun are Championship leaders Norwich City. The Manchester City boss says he has little time to watch the game for recreation, inbetween analysing opponents. But he says that he makes an exception for the Canaries, as they are coached by his friend Daniel Farke, a friend and long-time admirer of the Blues boss’s methods. But when asked about his football viewing habits, Guardiola said that he rarely gets tie, especially with City having two games a week at the moment.
Pep Guardiola said: “It depends how many days I have between games. Yesterday (Thursday) on the flight back with the players (from Budapest) I started to watch West Ham on the plane. In the night, prepare the training session for today and a meeting with the players tomorrow – we do it as short as possible, don’t talk much. When we have more time I take my day off. I saw a little bit of Arsenal and Benfica (in the Europa League on Thursday night), second half. I was curious to watch the game. And yeah, I have a good relation with the Norwich manager, so if they play I like to watch them. (If) I have some friends in the teams I watch them, we have fun with a glass of wine. But normally when I watch football now, it’s because it is my team or our opponents. The rest? I don’t have time.”
