Guardiola says people expect Manchester City to be guilty

“All the Premier League teams want us to be punished,” Pep Guardiola said after La Liga president Javier Tebas said Manchester City should be punished for financial irregularities.  A hearing into more than 100 charges against Manchester City by the Premier League begins on Monday, with Guardiola saying he knows what people expect and the club denying any wrongdoing.

Guardiola was asked about Tevez’s statement.  ” I believe there is nothing wrong with what happened at UEFA because there is justice in a modern democracy.So you have to go to a separate panel and wait.I know there will be more rumors about the lines coming out.I know what people are looking for.”I know what they expect. I’ve been reading it for years,” he said

This week Haaland’s close friend Ivar Eggja died.It remains to be seen whether Guardiola will be able to visit Brantford on Saturday.”It’s a difficult moment for him and his family, sad news for someone close to him and his family. Our thoughts are with them. It’s sad and if he can play mentally and physically, we’ll see tomorrow (Saturday),” the manager said. 

Nathan Ake went off on a stretcher in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with the Netherlands and will miss at least seven games, Guardiola said.
