Tomorrow at 6:45 p.m., Manchester City will host Salford City from League Two (English fourth division) in the FA Cup. A match, on paper, affordable and conducive to continuing the recovery of the team coached by Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard, precisely, spoke at a press conference… and left some interesting reflections:
Buying a football club in the future: “No… Because I’m not good at it. Sometimes I’m a good coach, but as a businessman I’m not good. So I’m not interested at all…”
On Haaland: “This season I have the feeling that he is incredibly focused.”
Transfer market: “Don’t ask me about that because I’m not going to answer. All month long you’re going to ask me the same thing about everything they relate to us in the media, so I’m not going to talk. You can insist, I’m not going to answer because I don’t know the situation. We know that we shouldn’t go to the market window, I don’t like it very much… but the situation that has happened this season with many, many, many injuries, we have to try to do it because the situation is what it is. But whatever happens, I’m not going to talk because I don’t know. I know. Of course I have conversations with the club, but the process and what is happening, I don’t know what is going to happen because it is very difficult and what is going to happen is going to happen, otherwise I can’t say anything more. …”.
Market? Don’t ask me about that because I’m not going to answer.

Marmoush and the market: “Listen, wasn’t I clear in my answer? Come on! I was clear in my answer; I’m not going to talk. He’s a player from another club, I’m not going to give an answer. You can say it in every round of press to talk about the transfer market until the end, but I’m not going to answer a single question! Don’t go down that road!” The same thing happened to me in the past. I was clear, right? You can try it whenever you want, no problem, but you already know my answer…”
