Leroy Sane Reveals Pep Guardiola Delivered Angry Dressing Room Rant

Pep Guardiola was unhappy with his players performance despite Man City's 3-0 Premier League win at Huddersfield

Pep Guardiola gave Manchester City players a Sir Alex Fergie-style hairdryer to keep up their hope for the title.

City reduced the gap on Liverpool to four points after taking inspiration from their manager’s emotional outburst at half-time.

Guardiola told his players to not give room for complacency when they took a 1-0 lead after a scrappy first half and they responded with two quickfire goals to secure a fourth straight Premier League win.

The third goal scorer, Leroy Sane, said: “The boss said at half-time that we can’t play the way we were playing and that we had to get better.”

“They were putting us under some pressure too. We know in the Premier League that a goal can come out of nowhere and at 1-1 it would be difficult to get the win.”

“So he woke us up a bit to play our game quicker and better and help us find where the space is.”

“The second half everyone could definitely see we were quicker and better, and in important positions. We controlled the game. It is easier when you can play like that and you can push forward more.”

The City boss claimed his players need to improve, although he was happier with their second-half displaying.

“We adjusted to attack more fluently inside and outside,” said Guardiola.

“The first 15-20 minutes of the second half were the best minutes we played today.”

“The way we played, we didn’t deserve more than three goals. We will improve in the future.”

“We have to demand more from ourselves in every game and do our best, but sometimes it’s difficult. They defended deep and man to man.

“What we have done so far has been incredible, in the league and the Carabao Cup.”

“We have an incredible number of points. But this game can teach us and show what we have to do to improve.”

Danilo scored the first goal with a shot which was deflected home by Christopher Schindler and he admitted he feared it would go down as an own goal.

“For sure I was worried it could be an own goal, but it was just important to get the win,” said the Brazilian.
