PEP TALK
Josep Guardiola – or Pep as he’s known to his enemies and friends – rarely bothers turning up for media engagements. Sure, he’s there in body, and his gums occasionally flap, but his head is somewhere else – usually on a training ground, plotting how to get a nine-on-one overload in central midfield. Football Daily assumed today would be no different, and that Guardiola – obliged to talk to the media before City’s 47-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday – would absent-mindedly dead-bat questions about Manchester City’s alleged contempt for the concept of fair competition. Instead, he turned into Josep Mourinho.
