Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has directly criticized some of his players, citing what he perceives as a "complete lack of respect" within the squad.
Following Manchester City's thrilling 5-4 victory over Fulham, Guardiola stated: "Sometimes I feel players don't respect me enough! I am old, and they shouldn't treat their coach this way."
The Spanish coach added, "This only happens in the Premier League."
Guardiola concluded his comments by acknowledging the team's performance: "The team delivered a great performance against Fulham, especially in the first half. There are many positive aspects in the way we played, and to come here and score five goals is something special."
