Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has produced yet another ‘cheeky’ press conference moment. Pep is known for his antics during media appearances and not taking the media too seriously. He has often provided some vial moments, and this latest one is not for one to ignore.

Pep Guardiola was asked about the fitness schedule of his outcast midfielder Kalvin Phillips. The English midfielder, bought from Leeds United, has failed to solidify his place at the Etihad. Even during Rodri’s suspension and ban, he could not create a place for himself, signaling a potential transfer away from the club.

However, Guardiola reacted humorously, emulating a crying face when asked about Phillip’s fitness. As Phillips edges closer to a move away from the Etihad, he still will go down as one of the most humble players in the eyes of the fans. After petty moves from players like Angelino, Joao Cancelo, Gabriel Jesus, and Raheem Sterling, who wanted to move away from the club following a fallout with the manager.

Meanwhile, Manchester City fans have appreciated Phillips’s positive presence in the dressing room while not creating a scene for not featuring after his 40 million euro move from Leeds United. Phillips had recently scored his first goal for City and was cheered massively, signaling how his contribution could be massive for his next club.
