18. Bad Ball
Pep Guardiola is one of the most successful and respected sports’ coaches on the planet. But even he is capable of producing bad excuses when things don’t go his way. The Manchester City manager wins more than he loses. BHe tends to react badly to defeat. Of course, this is the sign of a real winner, but sometimes you just have to laugh at what he says because it’s far too often nonsense.
However, he went on the attack after a penalty shootout victory over Wolves in the Carabao Cup. He said that the ball was garbage and unacceptable for the level of competition. He believed it was too light and that it was impossible for his players to score with it. Considering some of his players learned to play on the streets in bare feet, we’re pretty sure that he could have found other excuses.
