Guardiola said, “I needed more movement, I want a bit more in smaller spaces, like Oscar is great at finding in smaller spaces with his creativity.”
“I didn’t think he was playing badly, but I thought Oscar could give us something different.”
Guardiola was banned from the touchline after getting his third yellow card of the season in last week’s loss to Newcastle. However, he didn’t think that being away from the technical area had an unfair effect on his players because he could still go into the locker room before and after the game and talk to them from the bench.
“From the stands, the view is great, and at the end, when you’re banned, you’re in the stands. In the Premier League, you can be here, but not in the Champions League,” he said.
Amidfielder Matheus Nunes of Manchester City was booed during the first half of their loss to Wolves at Molineux. He was then taken off at halftime.
During the first half of Manchester City’s loss to Wolves, Pep Guardiola took off Matheus Nunes to make room for a player who was faster and better at playing in tight areas.
During the first 45 minutes, Nunes was booed as he came back to Molineux after forcing through his move to Manchester City this summer. He was also the target of some X-rated rants.
However, Guardiola, who was banned for one game and watched the game from the stands, said that the choice to bring on Oscar Bobb, 20, had nothing to do with how Nunes was being treated by fans.
Everyone knows what they need to do during the game, so you can do a little bit of something.
