The new "Barcelona" coach Josep Guardiola is a quite reserved strategist, so the scene that unfolded after yesterday's German Super Cup match started spreading around the internet, surprising some football fans. The Spaniard slapped the face of one of his team's players.
On Saturday, the winner of the German Football Super Cup became the Dortmund "Borussia" team, defeating last season's champions, the Munich "Bayern" club, with a score of 4:2.
During half time, J. Guardiola slapped the face of the club's rookie, Thiago Alcantara. Perhaps the coach was trying to provoke the player for the fight or to encourage him to concentrate, as he made quite a few mistakes on the field.
For the Bavarian coach Josep Guardiola, the match was not easy, but after the game, he praised his players' performance.
According to the Spaniard, the boys of coach Jurgen Klopp did not play better, they just took advantage of his team's rough defensive mistakes.
"They won. I didn't come here to analyze which team played better. I am satisfied with our performance. We played well," - said the team's coach after the defeat in the German Super Cup.
"Borussia" won 4-2, but I certainly don't feel as if they were better. We will watch the match and analyze our mistakes," - said J. Guardiola.
