Man City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has come out with a bizarre statement after losing to Liverpool in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s side is struggling for form.After losing 2-0 at Anfield and conceding a penalty which was converted by Mohamed Salah, Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has bizarrely hit out at the city of Liverpool.
According to the ECHO, the Spaniard, who was surprisingly selected ahead of the usual shot-stopper Ederson, used a radio interview post-match to aim a dig at Merseyside.
He did so when asked about Pep Guardiola not being particularly pleased with the crowd telling him he would be “sacked in the morning”.“Someone told me before that this area (Liverpool) is probably not the best part in the UK,” Ortega supposedly said.
I think he reacted really well, yeah.”Guardiola put six fingers in the air to denote the number of titles that he has won while in England, often competing against Liverpool.
That was in response to the Anfield crowd’s taunts during the game and he did it at the final whistle too.“All the stadiums want to sack me!” Guardiola said. “It started at Brighton.
Maybe they are right with the results we’ve been having but I didn’t expect that at Anfield.“They didn’t do it at 1-0, but at 2-0.
Maybe they should have sung it in the past. I didn’t expect it from the people from Liverpool but it’s fine, it’s part of the game, and I understand completely. We’ve had incredible battles together. I have a respect for them.
