Pep Guardiola sniped that Zlatan Ibrahimovic should write another book with everything he knows about the Manchester City manager after the Swedish striker weighed in on Erling Haaland’s potential.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: “Is Guardiola able to improve him?” he said. That depends on the ego that Guardiola has. If he allows himself to be bigger than Haaland or not. He didn’t allow me or the others to be as big.”
Guardiola laughed off the comments, responding with an answer soaked in sarcasm as he explained how he has hated every single hat-trick that Haaland has scored this season.
Pep Guardiola said: “He is right, he is completely right. In this club, in this team, my ego is beyond every other person, every player. I don’t like it when Erling scores three goals; all the highlight is for him. I am so jealous! Honestly, so jealous! I said ‘Erling, please no more goals, otherwise the newspapers won’t talk about me, and just about me’. He is right, he knows me perfectly. He can write another book.”
