"Man City" team is preparing for a friendly match against London’s "Chelsea" club.

Before the upcoming match, at a press conference, the "City" coach Josep Guardiola was asked if he knows his opponent Enzo Maresca's nickname.

Upon hearing that the Italian is called "Diet Pep," the strategist requested an explanation.

"Diet?!" the strategist exclaimed.

"Just like you, but not quite," the press representative replied.

J. Guardiola laughed and said: "It's probably due to the hairstyle... And the beard."

The match between "Man City" and "Chelsea" will take place on August 4 at 0:30 Lithuanian time.
